What Is Seborrheic Keratosis?
Seborrheic keratosis is a common, benign skin growth that appears as rough, waxy, or wart-like patches in shades of brown, black, or tan. While harmless, they may be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated. At Dr.Derme Skin & Aesthetic Clinic in Birmingham, we offer expert treatments including shave excision and surgical excision with stitches for safe and effective removal.
How Is Seborrheic Keratosis Removed?
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen for removing seborrhoeic keratosis. This minimally invasive procedure uses controlled freezing to lift the lesion away naturally with minimal scarring.
Shave Excision
Shave excision is a simple, effective technique for removing seborrheic keratosis, particularly raised or textured lesions. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and leaves minimal scarring.
Surgical Excision
Surgical Excision
Surgical excision is a precise technique used to completely remove seborrheic keratosis, especially if they are large or deeply rooted,. This method ensures full removal and is ideal for lesions that may not be suitable for shaving.
Seborrheic keratosis are benign skin growths that can vary in size, colour, and texture. They often have a distinctive “stuck-on” appearance, making them easy to recognise. They may look like warty or scaly patches and can sometimes be confused with moles or warts.
How Effective Is Seborrheic Keratosis Removal?
Seborrheic keratosis removal is highly effective, with treatments such as shave excision and surgical excision providing immediate removal of the lesion. While the treated growth does not return, new ones may develop over time due to ageing and genetics.
