A 50 year old female school teacher sees you regarding a crusty lesion on her upper lip, to the left of the midline. She first saw her own doctor, who was not keen on undertaking any biopsy or tests herself. So her GP suggested that patient see you to manage this lip lesion. She did not request that you manage any other skin lesion. You examine the patient and find a small (10mm X 12 mm) crusty non pigmented lesion on the upper lip. Dermoscopy shows a keratin surface but little else. Palpation reveals there is some thickness to the lesion. Elsewhere her face has marked solar damage but no other lesion of note.
