Any irritating seborrheic keratosis can be removed with almost no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day.
Seborrheic keratosis is a noncancerous skin growth. It is one of the most common types of skin growth in older adults. While only one growth may appear, multiple growths are typical. They do not require any treatment, but many people choose to have them removed because they do not like how they look or because they cause irritation.
I had a really good experience at Jax Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. I went in because I was having issues with my skin and hair, and to be honest, those kinds of things can make you feel a little self-conscious.
From the moment I walked in, Morgan at the front desk made me feel welcome. She was kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. She helped me relax and made me feel comfortable instead of embarrassed about why I was there.
A smile and a little kindness can go a long way, and Morgan definitely made a difference in my visit. Thank you for making me feel at ease. I truly appreciate it!

Very positive experience. From front desk thru a minor procedure everyone was polite, caring & informative. I have no qualms about going back in future.
Response from the owner:Thank you, we are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
10/10 From the front desk staff to the APRN.
Michelle is so thorough in answering your questions about dermatology and skin issues and so genuinely kind. The practice was on time, also not also a norm in medical care, but so far I've been 11 for 11 with them in that regard.
I highly recommend this practice for dermatologic needs and WEAR SUNSCREEN, y'all! 🌞

My appointment from the Front Desk to the Doctors, was an Amazing. Everyone that i had contact with was very friendly and helpful and make you feel more like a person than a patient - Zach was great, made eye contact, listened and made suggestions. Definitely would recommend Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic.
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Such a clean and welcoming office! The staff was super helpful, and the doctor was completely honest with me. They aren't just trying to sell you something that won't give you the results you actually want. Even though I wasn't a candidate for the procedure I went in for, I highly recommend them. It's rare to find a team with this much integrity who cares more about the patient than just making money.
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

What are Seborrheic Keratoses?
Seborrheic keratoses can be challenging to distinguish from melanoma, a severe form of skin cancer. However, they are benign skin growths. When they first appear, there may be one, but multiple growths typically appear. They are most commonly found on the chest, back, neck, and head.
They usually start as small, rough areas, but over time, they develop a thick, wart-like surface. They are sometimes described as having a “stuck-on” appearance, may look waxy, and have a somewhat raised texture. They are generally round or oval-shaped; while most develop into brown, some can be white, yellow, or black.
While the exact cause of seborrheic keratosis is unknown, these growths tend to run in some families. Risk factors include being over 50 and having a family history of the condition.
How are Seborrheic Keratoses Treated?
Our dermatologist will start with a consultation to examine the growth. Dr. Beal will thoroughly evaluate and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.
The treatment options for seborrheic keratosis include:
Minor surgery to remove the growth (curettement)
