melanocytic lesions

Melanocytic lesions are growths or spots on the skin that develop from melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment melanin, which gives skin its color. These lesions can vary in appearance, size, and color, and include common types like moles (nevi) and freckles. While most are benign and harmless, some can become cancerous, leading to melanoma, a serious skin cancer. It's important to monitor any changes in these lesions, such as size, color, or texture, and consult a healthcare professional if any concerns arise, to ensure timely assessment and treatment if necessary.
