I understand your concern.

It could be seborrheic keratosis or maybe a mole or wart.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

I have seen your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

It seems to be seborrheic keratosis. You can easily get it removed. For this you need to go to your nearby dermatologist and he can remove it with the help of radiofrequency cautery or CO2 laser.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia. Your dermatologist may give local infiltration of Xylocaine (Lignocaine) in each of the lesions and within a few minutes that area get numb and then he can burn it with the help of radiofrequency cautery or CO2 laser. You will not feel any pain during the procedure. Slight pain will be there when he infiltrates the Xylocaine into the lesions. It is an OPD procedure (outpatient department) and within 15 to 30 minutes all lesions can be removed in one sitting. Then, you have to apply antibiotic cream like Mupirocin or Fudic (Fusidic acid) twice for five days and painkiller like Combiflam (Paracetamol) twice daily for two to three days if you feel any pain after removal. The chance of recurrence with seborrheic keratosis is rare.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
