Can you have a benign lentigo on your palm?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. I've seen several patients with lentigos on palms. If you're concerned about any skin lesion that stands out as something unusual, have it examined by a dermatologist for peace of mind. A general skin check annually is a good idea.

Lentigo simplex (benign) can be present anywhere on your body, including your palm. Solar lentigo appears only on sun-exposed area. Just show your doctor the mark in the next visit if you want to be sure. Good luck.
