Abstract
Benign pigmented skin lesions are extremely common. Such lesions are seen every day in general practice. The objectives of this paper are to develop a framework that may be used to evaluate pigmented skin lesions and a strategy for dealing with pigmented lesions, outline the conditions that improve the diagnosis of pigmented lesions (eg good lighting, careful inspection and dermoscopy), and increase clinician confidence in identifying pigmented lesions with concerning features. Regular assessment of pigmented skin lesions during patient consultations, including in an opportunistic fashion, will increase diagnostic acumen and help to identify potentially problematic lesions, and may improve patient awareness of lesions on their skin.
