7. Treatment
Physicians might recommend removal when a seborrheic keratosis resembles skin cancer. Growths that are frequently caught up in clothing, zippers, or jewelry are candidates for removal because they can become irritated or painful. People can request removal if they dislike the appearance of seborrheic keratoses.4U;, Wollina. ‘Recent Advances in Managing and Understanding Seborrheic Keratosis.’ F1000Research, U.S. National Library of Medicine, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31508199/.
Non-invasive treatment options include benzoyl peroxide or hydrogen peroxide solutions, Tazarotene cream, and urea solutions combined with scraping. The effectiveness of current and potential topical treatments is still being researched.5Balasubramaniam, Darshana, and Craig G.
