Seborrhoeic Wart Removal
A seborrheic keratosis is a common, benign skin growth that is most often found in older populations but can also be found in younger individuals. It typically takes the shape of a round but rough growth, varying in colour between a dark brown, tan, or skin-coloured, with a “stuck-on” appearance. These growths usually appear on a person’s face, shoulders, chest, and back, and while they can develop at any age, they will be most noticeable in someone past the age of 50. While these growths are benign and considered harmless, they are often removed for cosmetic reasons.
Seborrheic keratoses are harmless benign skin growths, so removal is considered elective. However, they are often perceived as cosmetically bothersome due to their rough and discoloured appearance. Some individuals have numerous seborrheic keratoses on the face or back, which causes the skin to appear rough in texture and uneven in colour. At Devonshire Dermatology, we have a variety of treatment options to assist in minimally invasive cosmetic removal of seborrheic keratoses.
Although seborrheic keratoses themselves aren’t cancerous, it is important to follow up with a dermatologist if there are changes to any growths, such as rapid growth, colour changes, bleeding, or problems with healing.
