Seborrheic Keratosis treatment in Magdalena Contreras

The dermatologist is the specialist who identifies seborrheic keratosis, one of the most common benign skin lesions that appears over the years. It presents as growths on the skin with a waxy or stuck-on appearance, which are not a risk in themselves.

How they look: Brown, gray, or black spots or lesions, with a rough surface and an appearance of being stuck onto the skin, on the face, trunk, or back.

What characterizes them: They tend to grow slowly and, although harmless, should be distinguished from other skin lesions.

When should they be checked?: If they change in shape, color, or size, bleed, or raise questions. The dermatologist can examine them and confirm their benign nature; having any new lesion evaluated by a professional provides peace of mind.
