Common, harmless, flat, brown pigmented lesions caused by UV radiation from sun exposure or tanning beds. 

Usually found on the face, shoulders, back of hands, and forearms.

These lesions often feel like sandpaper before they are visible. They can be pink, red, or skin-colored, sometimes developing a thick, wart-like surface. It is considered precancerous, as 5–10% of cases can progress to squamous cell carcinoma.

Milia are small, harmless, pearly-white or yellowish cysts that form just under the skin surface, commonly on the face, eyelids, and cheeks. 

Spider naevi are harmless, dilated blood vessels visible just beneath the skin. They feature a central red dot with fine, web-like capillaries radiating outward.

Telangiectasias are small, dilated blood vessels located near the surface of the skin. They often appear as fine, thread-like red, blue, or purple lines. Common areas they appear on the face are cheeks, nose and chin. 

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a very common, entirely harmless skin condition caused by the enlargement and overgrowth of the sebaceous (oil) glands. It causes small, soft, skin-coloured, white, or yellowish bumps to form, most frequently on the forehead, cheeks, and nose. 

Xanthelasma are harmless, yellowish cholesterol plaques that form under the skin on or around your eyelids. They can be a warning sign of high blood cholesterol.

Porokeratosis is a skin condition which appears as raised brown bumps that may expand into scaly patches. They often have a rough raised border that may look like ringworm. The rashes are different because ringworm is caused by the fungus tinea coporis and is contagious unlike porokeratosis.

Ephelides are the medical term for common freckles. They are small, flat, light-brown or reddish macules (spots) that typically appear in early childhood on sun-exposed areas like the face, arms, and upper chest.
