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?
Help for seborric keratosis.?
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!

Does Any1 Have Keratosis Pilaris????
Found out that the rash on my arms and legs is Keratosis Pilaris. Does any1 here have it too?? i have looked at loads of websites to read up on it, but want to know if any1 here has a way of getting rid of theirs? or at least making the rash slightly less noticable??
Thanx x
Does Any1 Have Keratosis Pilaris????
I've had it as long as I can remember on my arms. I have tried all kinds of lotions, even expensive prescriptive lotions and nothing worked. Then about 3 years ago I put on Coppertone Endless Summer Gradual Tan Lotion and I swear to you, you almost can't see anything! My arms have never been so smooth (and tanned). I don't know what's in there that calms it down.
You can also try: AmLactin lotion (at drugstores), see if that helps.

My niece has Keratosis Pilaris...has anyone found any products that work?
Keratosis Pilaris is a skin condition often found on the back of arms. It is hereditary %26amp; caused by a back up of protein or keratin in the hair follicles causing an acne-looking or bumpy appearance.
1. I took her to a Dermatologist, who prescribed Pro Lactin this didn't work.
2. If you have had success list products %26amp; regimen you followed.
3. Any tips would help, she is getting ready to go back to school this month %26amp; desperately needs help!!Thanks so much!!!
My niece has Keratosis Pilaris...has anyone found any products that work?
I have ichthyosis vulgaris, a condition that often goes hand-in-hand with keratosis pilaris (which I also have, but on my thighs and not my arms). I was prescribed Am-Lactin rather than Pro-Lactin and I've never had a problem with the way it works.
Other than that, I recommend getting her a GREAT body exfoliator to use in the shower. Maybe something from Bath %26amp; Body Works, or better yet something medicated from a drug store or a place like that.
After she uses the exfoliating scrub in the shower (and tell her to scrub scrub scrub those arms, GENTLY but thoroughly, and not so it hurts or burns), put some of the Am-Lactin on it. If not Am-Lactin, try cocoa butter, which works great. If neither one of them, try Jergens Moisturizing body lotion with exfoliating beads.
I hope that works, and if you need anything else, feel free to e-mail me! kokopelli86@gmail.com. :)

Reply:The best thing to do is shower twice a day, exfoliate with a rough mitt (the rougher the better) and smother the affected area with LOTS of body lotion.
If she does this for a week or two, then she should notice a huge difference. After that, it's a matter of continuing the same routine with daily showers.
Sunshine seems to help too, don't ask me why.
Teenagers very commonly have it, but grow out of it by adulthood usually... if it's keratosis pilaris alba, particularly.

Ever heard of keratosis pilaris??
I have these bumps all over my arms and legs and when I researched them, they were called keratosis pilaris. I've looked for solutions to get rid of them, but it's very hard to find stuff that REALLY works. summer is getting nearer, and i NEVER get to wear short sleeve shirts and shorts because I'm so embarrassed. please help?
Ever heard of keratosis pilaris??
People say you can't cure it. But theres a lotion that really helps and specializes in Keratosis Pilaris and other problems from pores being plugged up with excess keratin. Its called Amlactin, you can ask a pharmacist and get it. I get mine at Costco and Fred Meyer stores just off the shelf. You don't need a prescription to get it anymore. After I applied the lotion to my arms everyday, after a week they went away. You should try it. Nothing else for me worked before except for this. Its about $16 for a 16 oz. bottle that lasts forever. You only need to apply a tiny bit. You can search for it on the internet and see what people say about it, its really helped me! :)

Just in case there is a treatment you haven't tried, here's a few web links that have good info.
Otherwise, you may just need to overcome the embarrassment - it probably seems worse to you than it does to other people. If people even notice your skin, they will probably think you have sunburn or some allergic reaction - not really a big deal. For some people exposure to sunlight causes the condition to improve, so wear whatever you want and don't think about your skin..

Who has Keratosis pilaris?
have you tried any of the treatments? if so do they work? I've had it and I just thought it was little reddish dots that would go way with a special treatment but I just found out that its actually Keratosis pilaris and that there's no cure but there are treatments. I want to know if they work.
Who has Keratosis pilaris?
I have it and i have seen it. I am a skin care specialist ( lucky me) so i have access to all the treatments and i have seen them work on other people. It take a little while for results to start showing but the trick to this is to keep it up. Add it to your routine like bathing or brushing your teeth. And dont stop if it goes away because it will come back if you dont continue treatment. Good luck :)
Reply:Keratosis pilaris is a disorder of keratinization in which horny plugs fill the openings of hair follicles.

Does acnitic keratosis always turn into squamous cell carcinoma or can it also turn into basal cell carcinoma?
Prior to 3 areas developing on my chin that will not go away, for several years I had an area on my chin that was wart-like, it was small and skin colored and from the research I have done it is called acnitic keratosis(pre-cancer). It would come and go. But now I have the sores on my chin that won't go away for 2 months now. I do have an appointment at the end of this month with the dermatologist and I am on the cancellation list. Unfortunately I am one that loves the sun, I just returned from an Island and prior to going I did use the tanning bed like I do every year. I also have a Hx of CA in my family , my mother had breast CA and alot of my aunts and uncles on my mothers side has had some type of CA. I know with my Hx of CA and sun exposure you are probably saying how stupid could you be?? You just never think it will happen to you until it does. Maybe I'm overdiagnosing but I have to wait a month to find out.
Does acnitic keratosis always turn into squamous cell carcinoma or can it also turn into basal cell carcinoma?
An actinic keratosis is sometimes a precurser to squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinomas are also caused by excess UVA damage but in a different type skin cell. The ratio of AKs that convert into SCC varies but is around 2-15%. My own estimate is about one in six if the AK is given enough time to keep growing. Here is a new article from PUBMED discussing this same question.

Actinic keratosis: how to differentiate the good from the bad ones?Quaedvlieg PJ, Tirsi E, Thissen MR, Krekels GA.
Department of Dermatology, University Hospital Maastricht, P.Debyelaan 25, Postbox 5800 6202 AZ Maastricht, The Netherlands. pqua@home.nl
Our objective was to obtain practical clinical parameters to indicate those actinic keratoses (AK) that are at risk of becoming invasive. A systematic review of the literature, with focus on randomized trials, retrospective studies and reviews was undertaken. The main outcome measure was the rates and clinical features of AK that transformed into SCC. This study reviewed randomized and retrospective studies and reviews of AK and their risk of becoming SCC. We reviewed a total of 875 studies and identified 62 useful prospective, retrospective studies and reviews. Finally 15 studies covering percentage and/or clinical parameters of malignant transformation were found to be useful: a total of 9 reviews, 4 randomized controlled trials and 2 retrospective studies. Only 1 study (meta-analysis) examined the percentage of malignant transformation and found a rate between 0.025% and 20% per year/per lesion. Clinical parameters found were: induration (3 studies), bleeding (3 studies), enlargement in diameter (3 studies), erythema (2 studies) and ulceration (2 studies). Other minor clinical criteria were pain, palpability, hyperkeratoses, pruritic lesions and pigmentation. The amount of quality research on the most common premalignant lesion in humans is disappointing. The only longitudinal study looking at the incidence of malignant transformation of AK to SCC dates from 1988.Besides the known risk factors (skin type, photodamage, immunosuppression etc), based on this review we found clinical features that provide a practical guide to practitioners in the treatment of AK. Although not prospectively studied, clinical parameters indicating those AK with an increased risk of malignancy are IDRBEU. I (Induration /Inflammation), D (Diameter %26gt; 1 cm), R (Rapid Enlargement), B (Bleeding), E (Erythema) and U (Ulceration). In future prospective studies, these parameters should be included.

Your family history of breast cancer does not influence your own chances of developing skin cancer but your history of tanning and sun exposure certainly does. You can reverse the development of many AKs with the prescription medicine Solaraze (topical diclofenac) if you apply it twice daily for three months or so. AKs that do not respond to Solaraze either need cryosurgery (freezing) or surgical removal. Solaraze will not effectively treat a SCC so if the Dr suspects you have a SCC it is better to treat the suspected SCC first with biopsy and excision and then treat any remaining non threatening AKs with Solaraze. Solaraze will not help if you continue tanning or sun exposure.
http://www.bradpharm.com/products/Doak/p...
If you do end up being diagnosed with SCC then you need to realize that your tanning and heavy sun exposure days are over because once you have one SCC of the skin the chances of you developing a second SCC are increased and will not decrease. Chances are about 40-70% that a person with one biopsy proven SCC will develop another one within five years.

There is some preliminary research that indicates drinking green tea daily might reduce a person's chances of developing skin cancers due to excess sun exposure and possibly help in the DNA repair of UVA damage of the skin. So far the research is not completely convincing but if you like drinking tea it certainly won't hurt any to add tea to your daily diet.
Skin cancer chemoprevention: strategies to save our skin.Einspahr JG, Bowden GT, Alberts DS.
Arizona Cancer Center, University of Arizona, P.O. Box 245024, Tucson, AZ 85724, USA.
There are over 1 million cases of skin cancer diagnosed yearly in the United States. The majority of these are nonmelanoma (NMSCs) and are associated with chronic exposure to ultraviolet light (UV). Actinic keratosis (AK) has been identified as a precursor for SCC, but not for BCC. AKs are far more common than SCC, making them excellent targets for chemoprevention. Cancer chemoprevention can prevent or delay the occurrence of cancer in high-risk populations using dietary or chemical interventions. We have developed strategies that have rational mechanisms of action and demonstrate activity in preclinical models of skin cancer. Promising agents proceed to phase I-III trials in subjects at high risk of skin cancer. UV light induces molecular signaling pathways and results in specific genetic alterations (i.e., mutation of p53) that are likely critical to skin cancer development. UVB-induced changes serve as a basis for the development of novel agents. Targets include inhibition of polyamine or prostaglandin synthesis, specific retinoid receptors, and components of the Ras and MAP kinase signaling pathways. Agents under study include: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea catechin with antioxidant and sunscreen activity, as well as UVB signal transduction blocking activity; perillyl alcohol, a monoterpene derived from citrus peel that inhibits Ras farnesylation; difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase and polyamines; retinoids that target retinoid X receptors and AP-1 activity; and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents that inhibit cylooxygenase and prostaglandin synthesis. We performed a series of Phase I-II trials in subjects with multiple AK. For example, a phase II randomized trial of topical DFMO reduced AK number, suppressed polyamines, and reduced p53 protein. Our goal is to develop agents for use in combination and/or incorporation into sunscreens to improve chemoprevention efficacy and reduce skin cancer incidence.

Reply:No, it doesn't always turn into cancer:
"It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of active lesions, which are redder and more tender than the rest will take the next step and progress to squamous cell carcinomas."
Of course, you may be one of those that it does become cancerous---since you refuse to stay away from the UV rays that are the EXACT cause of your skin problems. I would find another dermatologist immediately. Don't wait a month.

Reply:I have acnitic keratosis. I just went to the dermatologist. I am VERY pale skinned. I burn walking from work to the car. I have some on my hands, chest and nose. She said 96% or so will not turn into cancer. You should start wearing sunblock and stop being a sun lover. Get a fake tan. That's what I've always had to do. It's not so bad. Who cares if you look like an albino. It's your life and skin. Protect it or die of cancer. With all that history of cancer in your family it looks like you would think twice before lying there and baking in the sun. You are at a very high risk.
Reply:Do you mean "Actinic keratosis"?
Actinic keratosis (also called solar keratosis, senile keratosis, or AK) is a premalignant condition of thick, scaly, or crusty patches of skin. It is most common in fair-skinned people who are frequently exposed to the sun, because their pigment isn't very protective. It usually is accompanied by solar damage. Since some of these pre-cancers progress to squamous cell carcinoma, they should be treated.
Please see the web pages for more details on Actinic keratosis.

If you haven't gone to the dermatologist, you probably should if you want to get rid of it (well, there really isn't a cure) If the lotion doesn't work for you, you would have to go back in about three months and they'll do another thing. I just started the lotion treatment about two weeks ago, and it hasn't really worked.

Reply:Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Plus Intensive Repair Creme Works well. It is sold anywhere.
Reply:I have this same problem (it's very common) and I went to the dermatologist about it. Have you gone to the dermatologist? He gave me a prescription lotion, it doesn't really have a name. If you haven't gone to the dermatologist, you probably should if you want to get rid of it (well, there really isn't a cure) If the lotion doesn't work for you, you would have to go back in about three months and they'll do another thing. I just started the lotion treatment about two weeks ago, and it hasn't really worked.
