Description: Dark raised pigmented lesion on the back

History: The thicker dark seborrhoeic keratosis will often have a bluish tinge to it under the dermatoscope presumably because of the depth of melanin pigment in a thick lesion. All this pigment is in epidermal cells whereas we usually associate the colour blue with melanin pigment or nests deep in the dermis of melanocytic lesions.
