Just come across this. It's mostly flat, just a little rough/raises. Not itchy. Any ideas?!

That looks like a seborrhoeic keratosis -to me - you can google for images but the main thing is they look “stuck on”. They are not dangerous and occur mainly with age

Looks like something I have on my face called actinic keratosis, sun damage really. Don't think there's much I can do about it apart from wear factor 50 every day to stop it getting worse! I'm only 37!

I agree, looks like sebhorrheic keratosis, I have loads, but I am 73!

Yup, I’ve got them too. Warty looking things. I got mine frozen off at the gp pre-covid. I doubt my gp would do it until after covid nowadays.

I have one OP. Is it on your back? Mine is and the doctor said pre covid they would have frozen it off as the poster above had done. My GP just wants me to keep an eye on it and let them know if it becomes itchy or changes shape (like moles I guess) which is tricky as it's on my back, but reassured me that it is benign and not to.worry.
