What Is Seborrheic Keratosis?
Seborrheic keratosis is a benign (noncancerous) skin growth that often appears as a waxy, rough, or slightly raised spot on the skin. They can range in colour from light tan to dark brown or black and are sometimes described as having a “stuck-on” appearance.
These growths are very common, particularly with age, and can appear on the face, chest, back, shoulders, or scalp. While medically harmless, many patients choose to remove them if they become irritated, itchy, catch on clothing, or affect the skin’s overall appearance.
