Question 1

home remedy to remove seborrheic keratosis.

Accepted Answer

Freezing.: The cold spray that's sold for treatment of warts - I think the name is Wartner, or something similar - will also work on SKs if they're not too big or too thick. If they are, you'll need to have a dermatologist freeze them with liquid nitrogen.

Question 2

how do you remove seborrheic keratosis?

Accepted Answer

Destruction: These can be scraped off the skin but will usually return.  They can be inhibited sometimes with topical corticosteroids but most often they are removed by freezing the area with liquid nitrogen (superficial destruction) which then forms a scab like area which falls off as it heals.

Question 3

what are some ways to remove seborrheic keratosis?

Accepted Answer

Cryosurgery: When correctly diagnosed, no treatment is necessary. There is a small risk of localized infection caused by picking at the lesion. If a growth becomes excessively itchy or is irritated by clothing or jewelry, it can be removed by cryosurgery (the application of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue).

Question 4

i had a seborrheic keratosis removed from my skin using liquid nitrogen. it was removed successfully, but the skin in that area is still numb to the touch. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Time to heal: You did not say how long ago was the procedure. You should wait for the healing process to complete.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 5

i have a 2 inches seborrheic keratosis (diagnosed) on the scalp, is it possible to remove it without any scar or local hair loss ?

Accepted Answer

Excision: If worried about cosmetics consult a plastic surgeon. Usually a small scar and small bald area is expected.

Question 6

what can be done for severe seborrheic keratosis?

Accepted Answer

Seborrheic keratosis: Specific keratolytic agents can be used to bring this under control and along with personal hygiene can be very beneficial.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Sometimes yes: but be prepared for bleeding or scarring

Question 8

does a seborrheic keratosis require a biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Cannot hurt: It will confirm or correct the diagnosis..Go with the advise of your doctor.

Question 9

i have itching, could this be caused by seborrheic keratosis?

Accepted Answer

May be?: That could cause sore &amp; itchy skin.

Question 10

can you use sea salt on seborrheic keratosis?

Accepted Answer

Probably not helpful: Salt can be exfoliative when rubbed against the skin, but it is unlikely that a thick fleshy seborrheic keratosis would respond to such treatment.
