Dr. Zain Husain, Heather, and Courtney discuss the top 10 benign findings commonly seen on skin exams, describing how they look, where they appear, and when they may be confused with skin cancer. They cover seborrheic keratoses, cherry angiomas (and related vascular lesions), skin tags (including DPNs), benign moles/nevi with the ABCDEs and “ugly duckling” concept, lentigines (“liver spots”) versus freckles and the risks of cosmetic laser treatment without proper evaluation, dermatofibromas and the malignant DFSP, milia and look-alikes, sebaceous hyperplasia and its overlap with basal cell carcinoma, idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis, and fibrous papules/angiofibromas. They emphasize avoiding at-home removal, using dermoscopy and biopsy when warranted, and getting lesions checked if changing or symptomatic.
