SEBORRHEIC KERATOSIS
Personalized Care for Seborrheic Keratosis Removal
At Signature Skin, Dr. Shantanu Choudhary and Dr. Swati Mogra evaluate and remove Seborrheic Keratosis, a common non-cancerous skin growth. While these growths are harmless, we help confirm the diagnosis and offer removal for patients who find them cosmetically bothersome or irritating.
Understanding Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic Keratosis is a benign skin growth that appears as raised, wart-like or waxy lesions, ranging in color from flesh-toned to dark brown or black. They commonly develop on the face, chest, shoulders, or back and can increase in size or number over time, particularly with age.

What Sets Our Seborrheic Keratosis Care Apart
Diagnostic Confirmation First: We confirm lesions are truly benign Seborrheic Keratosis before removal, since some skin growths can look similar but need different management.
Method Matched to Lesion: Cryotherapy, laser, or surgical excision is chosen based on the specific lesion's size, thickness, and location for the best cosmetic outcome.
Scar-Conscious Technique: Removal approach is selected with visible scarring in mind, particularly for lesions on the face.
Multiple-Lesion Planning: For patients with several growths, we plan removal sessions efficiently rather than addressing each in isolation.
