Dermatoscope image of porokeratosis on a patient's skin. This chronic condition causes patches of dry, discoloured skin with a well-defined border. The patches are normally a few centimetres in size but may slowly enlarge over time. In most cases they are asymptomatic, however, in around 7% of cases they become cancerous. Porokeratosis typically does not require treatment, although to improve the appearance of the lesions, topical drugs, laser therapy and cryotherapy (freezing) can be employed. | |
