    What's your diagnosis?

    It's not cancerous or infectious.

    I'll post the correct answer in about three days!

    Correct answer:

    Venous lake.

    This is a dilated blood-filled vessel with unknown cause. It may be associated with sun exposure, as it only appaers on skin that's frequently sun exposed, mainly the lips, ears and face. It's more often seen in the elderly.
