5. Consulting a Doctor
Always consult a doctor about new or altered skin lesions, especially growths surrounded by dilated blood vessels or new growths originating from an existing mole or lesion. Schedule a visit as soon as possible if a seborrheic keratosis changes color, grows rapidly or develops an open sore.2Articles.’ Cedars, www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/s/seborrheic-keratosis.html.
Other potentially suspicious symptoms include skin growths with asymmetrical or irregular shapes, blurred borders, or smooth, ill-defined surfaces. Sudden outbreaks of multiple skin lesions should also be examined by a doctor.
