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.
This was my first visit to Jax Dermatology and I was impressed by the professionalism at the front desk, the knowledge and expertise of the staff and the kindness extended to me during treatment. I arrived very early to my appointment to give me time to fill out paperwork and was more than willing to come back for the actual appointment, however, staff got me in early and there was no "wait" involved I want to thank the staff for such prompt and courteous service.
My second visit on July 2, 2025, was equally satisfying. I was taken into the exam room within 5 minutes of arriving. The services of Dr. Stepien were accomplished with ease and perfect professionalism. I appreciate a practice that values their patients and does their absolute best to provide the services with such knowledge and expert handling. I will continue with Jax Dermatology for all future needs.
I visited again in April 2026 and had a great experience. The PA who did my filler was extremely informative and did great work on my face. I appreciate the professionalism shown by the folks at Jacksonville Dermatology.

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.
