Sometimes it's hard to tell cancerous skin conditions from noncancerous ones. The skin conditions below are noncancerous, but a doctor's expert eye is needed for diagnosis:
- Actinic keratosis: Thick, rough, scaly patches of skin that are red or brown in color
- Cherry angiomas: Small, smooth, noncancerous skin growths that appear as a cherry-red bump
- Seborrheic keratoses: Benign lesions that vary in color from light tan to black -- often found on the chest or back
- Sebaceous hyperplasia: Common, benign, round, flesh-colored or yellow lesions, usually found on the face
