Help for seborric keratosis.?

I have been diagnosed with seborric keratosis. I am 42 and Dr. told me that it would worsten with age. He said that it is not life threatening but that there is no cure. I know it is only cosmetic, but, I have had people ask me "what are those things on your face and neck, they look like warts" Has anyone ever heard of this?

Here is the answer you are looking for... you can have these removed. They can be shaved off by a electro cautery machine by your dermatologist or by a very minimal shaved removal. Also they now say that they can also be removed with the new impuled light laser machines.


If you are in Florida, I know of a perfect dermatologist!
Reply:Yes I have read about that while I was researching my eczema. I had the same problem. Eczema makes your skin really bumpy and itchy and I was always afraid people would notice it on my hands. I went to the dermatoligist and got some lotion and it hasn't came back since. I'm sure there is probably a website with a lot of information about seborric keratosis and professional advice for people with it. Anyway, don't worry what people say, everyone has some kind of health issue, its just more apparent for some.
Reply:I didn't KNOW they actually HAD a name for them. I was always told they were a normal part of menopause %26amp; post menopause. If you Mother or Grandmother had them, then, so will you! I thought they could be removed if they get too large %26amp; unsightly. I have tried everything short of minor surgery to get mine off my face %26amp; nothing has ever worked. It is now going on 5 years since I first noticed mine %26amp; I hate the way they look!
