What are Seborrhoeic Keratosis / Warts?
Seborrhoeic Keratosis are harmless overgrowths of epidermal keratinocytes, that you can find anywhere on the skin, and the cause is unknown.
They have several different names, including seborrhoeic warts and basal cell papillomas.
Seborrhoeic keratosis have a rough surface and appear to be stuck on the skin. They can vary in colour from your normal skin colour to almost black most often occur on the stomach, chest and back and usually start to appear after the age of 40.
They are not true warts and are not contagious. However, they run in families, possibly due to genetics or skin type. They usually do not cause trouble, but occasionally, they can become inflamed, especially if knocked or caught in something like a zip.
Do Seborrhoeic Keratosis require treatment?
Seborrhoeic warts are usually harmless and, therefore, do not usually require treatment. However, some people arrange for their removal for cosmetic reasons. This is best done by scraping the wart away or by freezing it with liquid nitrogen.
