Seborrheic Warts

Seborrheic warts are harmless growths and are common in the ageing process. Also known as Seborrheic keratosis, these wart-like growths become more apparent in one’s 40’s or older. You may experience one growth or multiple lesions as you age.

These warts are often tan, brown or black and they appear as a circular shape. As these growths develop, they can be textured and/or raised and have a waxy or scaly appearance. They can feel irritated and itchy if they are rubbed against clothing which can be uncomfortable.

The warts are completely benign and are easy to diagnose though to the untrained eye they can be confused for a pigmented skin cancer. If you are concerned about a patch of pigmented skin, it is advised to see your doctor have it diagnosed correctly.

Seborrheic warts can be removed with cautery to reduce irritation and itching they may cause. If these lesions develop on the face, their removal can boost your confidence.
