DERMATOSIS PAPULOSA NIGRICANS (DPNS): DPN’s are more common in dark- skinned individuals. It appears as multiple brownish-black asymptomatic, small, smooth round raised lesions mainly around eyes, sometimes over neck or trunk can be seen.

MOLE (MELANOCYTIC NAEVUS): It is commonly seen in first two decades of life, sometimes it is present since birth. They are dark brownish black flat or raised smooth lesion. They may change slowly, becoming raised, changing color or gradually fading over the course of time.

Corns and warts : are two common foot conditions. The difference between these two conditions is that corns are concentrated only on the feet while warts can appear all over the body.

Corns occur when there is localized high friction pressure on the bony prominences of the foot. The foot then responds to the added pressure by thickening the skin in that area to protect itself. Such skin pressure causes an inadequate blood circulation in the skin to cause corns. A corn doesn’t itch or bleed. You feel no pain if your pinch it. The only pain you may feel from a corn is direct pressure when you stand up or walk.

On the other hand, a wart is not related to friction. It is a skin condition caused by the human papilloma virus that enters the skin through breaks or openings or other direct body contact with the virus. Corns are not infectious while warts are contagious and hence should be treated as quickly as possible.

Syringoma: It is fairly common conditions seen in femalespredominantely. They are multiple, 1-3 mm, skin-colored, dome shaped, flat raised lesions around eyes.
