Answer
benign neoplasm of keratinocytes of unknown pathogenesis and is most common in geriatric population   seborrheic keratoses  
🗑
a warty, brown stuck on appearing papule on any cutaneous surface except palms and soles   seborrheic keratoses  
🗑
What is the treatment for seborrheic keratoses   optional; destruction or surgical removal no reimbursable under medicare guidelines so let patient know that  
🗑
benign accumulation of nevus cells that develops during puberty and evolves over lifetime   Acquired melanocytic Nevi (moles, nevocellular nevi)  
🗑
A cell of pigmented cutaneous whose abscence of dendrites differentiates it from a melanocyte   nevus cell  
🗑
What type of acquired melanocytic nevi are there   junctional, compound, intradermal,  
🗑
what is the treatment for acquired melanocytic nevi   optional; excision  
🗑
accumulation of nevus cells in skin present from birth typed small, medium or large   congenital nevi  
🗑
what is the treatment for congenital nevi   more necessary in larger lesions, serial excisions vs laser removal  
🗑
what can occur with congenital nevi   they can have hair growth that is large and out of place that can hide cancer development  
🗑
what are large congenital nevi on the neck, head or posterior midline associated with   generally associated with underlying malformations usually asymptomatic but can be associated with seizures, hydrocephalus, and neurological defects  
🗑
how is the risk of developing melanoma associated with congenital nevus   the risk of developing melanoma is proportional to the size of the congenital nevus also large nevi can hide the developing melanoma  
🗑
benign increase of melanin in the basal layer of the epidermis present by age 3 after uv exposure   Freckles (ephilides)  
🗑
How do freckles relate to skin cancer   they are a marker for susceptibility to skin cancer  
🗑
what are the optional treatments for freckles   bleaching creams, chemical peels, laser removal  
🗑
flat sharply demarcated evenly pigmented spots that are usually oval where the long axis of the oval is situated along a cutaneous nerve tract   cafe au lait spots

🗑
What is the rate of vitilgo   1-2% about 30% of cases are with familial clustering  
🗑
What are the clinical featurs of vitiligo this is a long paragraph just read it and make sure you understand it   At first, only a few, small, and sharply circumscribed foci are present w/ hyperpigmented borders. Lesions increase in number and become confluent, taking on bizarre shapes.  
🗑
How can vitiligo present on the body IE how much can it cover   can be localized or generalized  
🗑
where are the most common sites for vitiligo   face, neck and scalp  
🗑
benign increase in melanin in basal layer of epidermis usually in patches on cheeks, chin and forehead of young women   melasma  
🗑
what is the treatment for melasma   change or stop causal medication, bleaching creams, chemical peel, lase removal, SUNSCREEN  
🗑
Classified as simple; benign increase in melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis or Solar; increased melanin production   lentigines Singular or Solar  
🗑
What is the cause of lentigines   UVA  
🗑
What is the treatment for Lentigines   optional; bleaching creams, chemical peel, laser removal  
🗑
apart from the epidermis what other body part can be affected by generalized vitiligo   mucus membranes  
🗑
Apart from the face neck and scalp where does vitiligo often occur   around body orifices such as lips, genitals, gingiva, areolas, and nipples  
🗑
Another presentation of vitiligo where the hair may depigment as well   vitiliginous macule  
🗑
how does vitiligo of the scalp generally appear   as a localized patch of white or gray hair but total depigmentation fo the scalp may occur  
🗑
