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 my first visit with Jax Dermatology recently. Because it was my first visit, it took a long time to fill out the medical questionnaire and personal information. It might have saved some time if the form was sent to me via email prior to the visit. Other than that, everything went smoothly, the check-in staff was welcoming, courteous, and helpful, including the doctor's assistant. Dr. Stepien was knowledgeable and friendly.Thank you Jacksonville Dermatology, I will return for future visits.

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)
- Shave biopsy
- Chemical peel
- Laser surgery
