They may appear all over your body, like hives, or they may be in one place. Fissure: Straight breaks in the skin that go deeper than the top layer of skin into the second layer of skin. They can be painful and can be caused by excessive dryness. Cancer can cause skin lesions through the spreading of malignant cells to the skin or, more commonly, as a result of paraneoplastic syndromes, which are distant clinical manifestations triggered by an internal malignancy. Examples of cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes include dermatomyositis (which causes skin rashes and muscle weakness) and pyoderma gangrenosum (which is a rapidly enlarging, painful ulcer). Other paraneoplastic conditions that involve the skin include Sweet’s syndrome, which causes skin lesions along with sudden onset fever, and the Leser–Trélat sign, which includes the presence of multiple seborrheic keratoses.
