Non-malignant skin disease is relatively common. The pathology may or may not be specific. Some diseases require clinical information to diagnose.
An introduction to dermatopathology is in the dermatopathology article. Nevi (moles) and other melanocytic lesions are dealt with in the article melanocytic lesions. Inflammatory skin conditions are dealt with in inflammatory skin disorders.
