CLOGGED FOLLICLES
noninflamed buildup of cells, sebum, and other debris inside the follicles.
COMEDO
Rare genetic condition, lack of melanin pigment in the body, including hair, skin, and eyes
ALBINISM
Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Evolving
ABCDE's OF MELANOMA
visible capillaries .5-1.0mm in diameter usually on the face around the nose, cheeks and chin
TELANGIECTASIA
Also known as a birthmark, malformation of the skin from abnormal pigmentation or dilated capillaries
NEVUS
mainly small solidified impactions of oil without cell matter. Often found on the nose.

Abnormal pigmentation is referred to as: ________
Caused by internal or external factors
DYSCHROMIA
pink flesh colored precancerous lesion that feels rough or sharp as a result of sun damage
ACTINIC KERATOSIS
inflammatory & vascular disorder. Visible vessels and skin sensitivity. Can progress to pustular-type breakouts that can be confused with acne.
ROSACEA
Hormonal Hyperpigmentation which is symmetrical
MELASMA
Small epidermal cysts. Whitish, pearl-like masses of sebum and dead cells under the skin with no visible opening, and often mistaken for whiteheads
MILIA
Fungal condition that inhibits melanin production. Characterized by white, brow, or salmon-colored flaky patches
TINEA VERSICOLOR
Most common and least severe type of skin cancer
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA
Vascular lesions are also called
TERTIARY LESIONS
Actinic bronzing to the sides of the face and neck
POIKILODERMA OF CIVATTE
A hereditary factor in which dead skin cells buildup because they do not shed from the follicles as they do in normal skin.

Pigmentation disease characterized by white irregular patches of the skin that are totally lacking pigment.

SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASIA
is a loss of pigment leading to light abnormal patches of depigmented skin. It is a congenital disorder acquired due to immunological and post inflammatory causes
LEUKODERMA
More serious than basal cell carcinoma, characterized by scaly, red or pink papules or nodules.
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
Spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, temperature extremes, heat, sun, and stress
VASODILATION OR VASODILATORS
similar to a freckle, tiny round or oval pigmented areas of the skin exposed to the sun. also referred to as macules, small flat colored spots on the skin
