- verrucae: warts, HPV infection, typically aymptomatic and removed,
genital area warts can be transmitted
- angiomas: vascular tumor that invole skin and subq, flat violet-red
patches, port-wine stain
- pigmented nevi: moles, various shapes and sizes, most are harmless
but can be malignant, watch ABCDE
