What characterizes pre-malignant growths?

Caused by excessive heat
Break down the bonds between skin cells
Irregular in shape and border, sometimes flowery or notched, color can be irregular
Have tiny blood vessels running through them

The correct answer is: Irregular in shape and border, sometimes flowery or notched, color can be irregular

Pre-malignant growths are abnormal cells found on the surface of the skin or in tissues. They are not necessarily cancerous, but can potentially develop into cancer if left untreated. A key characteristic of pre-malignant growths is their irregular shape and border, which may have a flowery or notched appearance. This distinguishes them from normal skin cells which have smooth and regular borders. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect as they do not accurately describe the defining features of pre-malignant growths. Excessive heat, breaking down of skin cells, and the presence of tiny blood vessels are all unrelated to pre-malignant growths.
