Seborrheic Keratosis Treatment
Understanding Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic keratosis is one of the most common non-cancerous skin growths in adults, especially those over the age of 50. These growths often appear as waxy, raised, and slightly rough spots in shades of brown, black, or tan. While they may look concerning, they are completely harmless and never develop into skin cancer.
Seborrheic keratoses can appear anywhere on the body, but they are most frequently found on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Some people may only have one or two, while others develop many over time. These growths are not linked to sun exposure and are not contagious, but they often run in families, suggesting a genetic component.
Symptoms and Cosmetic Concerns
Although seborrheic keratoses are usually painless, they can sometimes cause mild irritation, especially if they rub against clothing or are located in high-friction areas. Their size, texture, and darker color can make them a cosmetic concern for many people. If your seborrheic keratosis conditions are affecting your cosmetic skin goals, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us!
