Answer:
A. loss of sensation to pressure and touch
Explanation:
Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway also known as the dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (DMLP) is a pathway involved in recognition of sensory simulations and is found in central nervous system.
It is involved in conveying different sensations like like touch and vibration from skin and joints. Therefore, it can be said that the pathway plays significant role in perception of sensory information from different parts of the body. If any damage occurs to the pathway it can result in loss of sense of touch and vibration which is ultimately a lack of ability of a person to sense a touch or pressure in the body.

Answer:
Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.
Explanation:
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
