Question 2: Does this lesion fit the criteria of ABCDE (asymmetry, border irregularity, color, diameter, elevation/evolving) for a melanoma?

Question 1: What are the different types of benign and malignant skin lesions?

There are three primary skin lesions and malignant skin lesions one of which is the lesion formed by the fluid within the skin layer. This includes the vesicles and the pustules as opined by Yilmaz and Trocan (2020). The second one is the lesions that are solid masses such as the tumors and the third type is the flat lesions such as the macules or the patches that are there in the skin

Question 2: Does this lesion fit the criteria of ABCDE (asymmetry, border irregularity, color, diameter, elevation/evolving) for a melanoma?

One of the strategies that could be used in the process of determination of the features of melanoma is to think alphabetically. The ABCDE includes the issue of the patient having an asymmetrical form and hence the shape is not uniform which the case is in the expressed condition by Maeve. The border is not well defined and the color is not well defined and one cannot be able to determine the areas of color. The diameter of melanoma is 6mm which or larger and there is an evolution in that there is a change in size, shape, and color. This is the case of the expressed condition by Meave as it is expressed to be at least 8mm.

Question 3: What is your initial diagnosis and How will you confirm it?

The initial diagnosis of the patient s basal cell carcinoma (bcc). This is a type of skin condition that results in the whitening and brown patches in the areas that one has had exposure to the sun. The selection of this condition is attributed to the fact that it is pearly white and dome-shaped papule. The confirmation of this condition may be done by carrying out a skin biopsy (Wozniak‐Rito, Zalaudek, & Rudnicka, 2018)…..
