Pigmented Lesions

Pigmented lesions are areas on the skin or inside the mouth that have different colors due to an increase in pigment, primarily melanin. They can appear as spots, patches, or moles, and are usually harmless. Common examples include freckles, moles, or age spots. However, some pigmented lesions may indicate skin conditions or skin cancer, especially if they change in appearance, size, or color. It's important to monitor these areas and consult a healthcare professional if there are any changes or concerns to ensure proper diagnosis and management.
