How to remove Seborrheic Keratosis, and what should I expect during removal? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi!

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign, non cancerous growth on the skin. All raised lesions that has changed over a short duration of time should still be checked by a doctor before removal.

We use the Ellman surgitron electrocautery system to remove the lesions. It is done under local anaesthetic.

The procedure is relatively quick and we can achieve good clearance in 1 session. Do prepare for 1 week of down time (scabs) and sun avoidance/protection after the procedure. If patient adheres to after care instructions, good recovery can be expected.

Best regards
