Lipoma
A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump that's most often situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. A lipoma, which feels doughy and usually isn't tender, moves readily with slight finger pressure. Lipomas are usually detected in middle age. Some people have more than one lipoma.
Lipoedema
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the genital and perianal areas but can also occur on other parts of the body. It is characterized by white, patchy skin that is thinner than normal. LS can cause significant discomfort and scarring and has potential long-term complications if left untreated.

Lichen planus
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails. It is characterized by itchy, flat-topped, purplish lesions on the skin and white patches or streaks in the mouth. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to involve an abnormal immune response.
Leukoplakia
Leukoplakia is a condition characterized by white patches or plaques on the mucous membranes of the mouth, which cannot be scraped off and do not correspond to any other diagnosable disease. It is considered a potentially precancerous lesion, meaning it has the potential to develop into cancer if not monitored or treated properly.
Leukaemia (acute myeloid)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood, characterized by the rapid proliferation of abnormal myeloid cells. This condition can occur at any age but is more common in older adults. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia is crucial for effective management and support of patients and their families.
