Basal cell carcinoma lesions have depressed centers with rolled borders. Lesions are most often observed on people who live in regions with intense sunlight and on those areas of the skin most exposed-namely, the face and neck. Squamous cell lesions are firm with a granular surface that bleeds easily. Kaposi sarcoma lesions are purplish brown macules and develop into plaques and nodules and are seen most often in people with AIDS. The ABCDE rule is used as a guide for assessing malignant melanoma: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than 6 mm, and Elevation which includes raised appearance or rapid enlargement.
