Answer to Question 1

2
Basal cell carcinoma in its nodular form appears as a pearly, translucent bump that bleeds easily. Actinic keratosis is seen or palpated on the face, scalp, arms, and ears. It can have a color from tan to red or have the patient's normal skin tone. Malignant melanoma is a lesion that has changed its color and shape, has gotten bigger, or has an irregular border. Melanoma in situ presents with flat or raised lesions with histologic features of melanoma.

Answer to Question 2

1
Psoriasis is characterized by patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales, usually on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lumbosacral areas. Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory condition characterized by erythema, papules, pustules, and telangiectasis. Scabies is a highly contagious, pruritic skin infection caused by a mite. Stasis dermatitis is a condition that occurs on the lower extremities of patients with venous insufficiency.
