How would you manage this lesion on the lower limb?

This week we revisit a case from Dr Terry Harvey. A 45-year-old female patient presents with this lesion on her lower limb.

What do you think of the dermoscopy image?

 

Update

The lesion was sampled with a shave biopsy and came back as superficial multifocal basal cell carcinoma. It was treated with imiquimod cream over 6 weeks.
