Seborrheic Keratoses

Seborrheic keratoses are superficial, benign skin lesions that start skin-colored and gradually turn into dark brown, gray, or black plaques with a rough, keratinized surface. Driven largely by genetic predisposition, they can be treated with topical salicylic acid in early stages, or removed completely via electrocauterization.

Everything you need to know

Seborrheic keratoses are superficial benign skin lesions. Initially they are skin-colored or slightly darker, but over time they may enlarge and darken, forming well-defined brown, gray, or black plaques. Their surface is covered with keratin, which can partially be removed by rubbing (e.g., with a towel). Genetic predisposition plays an important role in their development.

In early stages, they may be treated with topical salicylic acid, emollients, and oil-based baths. If topical therapy is ineffective, the treatment of choice is electrocauterization.
