Three new bumps

An older male came in for a skin check. His mother died years ago of a melanoma on her leg. He tells the dermatologist that he is here for 3 new raised bumps on his left arm and both legs.

PRO – Dermatology Scores

Skindex-16 Emotions 10

Skindex-16 Symptoms 0

Skindex-16 Functioning 0

The dermatologist can quickly tell from these low scores that these 3 new spots don’t really bother the patient - he doesn’t seem to think they are melanoma or his emotional score would be much higher (see HERE for the opposite example) - he just wants reassurance that these spots are all fine. All 3 spots are age spots (seborrheic keratoses).
