Commonly affected areas include the lower limbs, back, face, mouth, and genitalia.
The lesions are usually as described above, but may occasionally be plaque-like (often on the soles of the feet) or even involved in skin breakdown with resulting fungating lesions.

Associated swelling may be from either local inflammation or lymphoedema (obstruction of local lymphatic vessels by the lesion).
Skin lesions may be quite disfiguring for the sufferer, and a cause of much psychosocial pathology.
