- Soft flesh coloured or pigmented pedunculated tags in body folds (neck, armpit, groin)
- Especially in obese patients and in those with type 2 diabetes
Seborrhoeic Keratoses (warts)
- Yellow / brown greasy papules or rough grey / black hyperkeratotic papules with ‘stuck-on’ appearance
- Keratin plugs or inclusion cysts may help differentiate from melanoma
- Often multiple

Benign Melanocytic Naevi (moles)
- Flat or raised, symmetrical, uniform border, uniform pigment, pale, dark or reddish brown
- May darken/enlarge during pregnancy. If hairy may become inflamed (folliculitis)
Dermatofibroma

- If the skin over a dermatofibroma is squeezed a dimple forms, indicating tethering of the skin to the underlying fibrous tissue
