Study Notes
Scabies
- Scabies mites typically live in areas of the body with thin skin, like the spaces between fingers, wrists, elbows, and the armpits.
- These mites can also live in areas where there are folds of skin, such as the groin, buttocks, and around the breasts.
Skin Cancer Risk

Superficial Spreading Melanoma
- Superficial spreading melanoma is the most common type of melanoma, and it typically appears as a flat, irregularly shaped lesion with a raised border.
- Nodular melanoma is characterized by a raised, firm nodule that is either black or brown.
- Lentigo Maligna melanoma is typically found on sun-exposed areas, and it appears as a flat, brown or black lesion with a scaly, uneven surface.
Hirsutism
- The pattern of hair growth in hirsutism is characterized by excessive hair growth in areas where men typically grow hair, such as the face, chest, and abdomen.
Emergent Phase
