AB Primary  lesions  are  uncomplicated  abnormalities  which  represent  the  initial  pathologic  change.  Secondary  changes  reflect  progression  of  disease.Diagnosis  depends  upon  identification  of  the  primary  lesion.  Other  features,  such  as  distribution,  configuration,  and  color  assist  in  narrowing  the  diagnosis.  These  features  along  with  a  focused  history  and  knowledge  of  key  clinical  features  usually  result  in  a  specific  diagnosis  of  dermatologic  conditions.The  clinician  must  recognize,  and  communicate  to  the  patient,  that  there  are  times  when  it  is  difficult  to  narrow  the  final  diagnosis  to  a  single  entity.
