Keratosis and Benign Skin Tumors
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Keratosis and benign skin tumors are noncancerous skin growths or lesions that appear frequently, especially over the years or due to sun exposure. They are usually harmless, although they should be monitored.
What are they?: They encompass various benign skin lesions, with variable appearance, color, and texture.
When to seek care?: If a lesion changes in size, shape, or color, bleeds, is bothersome, or appears suddenly, it is prudent to have it checked to rule out other causes.
Which specialist treats them?: The dermatologist is the right specialist to examine the skin; in some cases the plastic surgeon or the general surgeon is involved, and the general practitioner can guide the initial evaluation. Having any lesion that raises questions checked by a professional provides peace of mind and appropriate care.
