A member asked:
Can you use sea salt on seborrheic keratosis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Yes: You can use sea salt on seborrheic keratosis but it will not be effective to get rid of this issue. See a dermatologist to have the sk removed (by either excision, cryotherapy).
