Pigmented lesions usually refer to melanocytic proliferations. The melanocyte comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Benign proliferations are often called moles or nevi.
Melanocytic proliferations are not the only reason for pigmented lesions. There may be an increase in melanin, unassociated with an increase in melanocytes.
Aging spots, solar lentigo, cafè-au-lait, and dermal pigmentations as nevus of Ota are nowadays easily treatable with lasers. Lasers and Intense Pulse Light (IPL) devices heat the melanin in a pigmented lesion, which causes the lesion to disappear.
