A 72-year-old Caucasian male with a history of essential hypertension and osteoarthritis is presenting to the clinic with a slightly raised scaly lesion with telangiectasia on the cheek. When asked, he denies having any recent events that could explain the development of the lesion. He initially thought that it was a bug bite because he works in his yard a lot.
