A seborrheic keratosis is a common, noncancerous skin growth. It often appears as a raised, wart-like bump on the skin. Seborrheic keratoses are usually brown, black, or flesh-coloured, and they can be smooth or bumpy. They are most common in adults over the age of 30.
These growths are harmless and do not require treatment unless they are causing discomfort or affecting your appearance.
During your initial consultation, your doctor will examine your skin to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any concerning features.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor will discuss your treatment options. The majority are removed by surgical excision.
The procedure will be performed under local anaesthesia and should take approximately 30 minutes. The procedure may leave a scar, but it should fade over time. We’ll send the sample to our local pathology lab for confirmation of the diagnosis and notify your GP of the results.
Initial Consultation: £50 (deductible from cost of procedure)
Procedure: £500
