Seborrhoeic Keratoses

[Damnspot]

Anyone have any way of getting rid of these bastards. I have lots of them and I hate them.

You can buy a version of the cryo stuff fir under a tenner in the cheap chemists or the salicylic acid plasters for around a fiver.

Mine went with both of those home treatments but came back.

Freezing them off with the dear stuff seems to be better. Takes many months for them to come back after that.

They are so itchy. Awful things. And generally in a place you need a partner to apply whatever cure you want to use!!!

No use if you don't have one/a pal willing to do it.

@Raspberri@OldKingCole yes I feel I have more than people of my age - I’m 32. What do yours look like ? Pic ?

My granny's back is absolutely covered in them and she recently went to dermatologist who said it was too late, there was so many there's nothing they could do.

It's a shame as she's so itchy

Hi - a local laser / aesthetics place - had them frozen off with liquid nitrogen by a nurse. €250 for the lot. Took about 20 mins.
I think I will just have to keep getting that done about twice a year to stay on top of them.

My 84 year old mum is the same. Her whole back is covered and they often become dry and start to bleed. I had to take her for a bra fitting recently and I was shocked when she had to remove her top. The woman doing the fitting was so nice to my mum as mum was so embarrassed.

Im wondering if this is what i have. If i remember correctly, they appeared just after/around the time I was expecting (years ago). I have kind of ignored them but I would like them to go. Every so often i use night cream on them from Caudalie and they seem to lessen (could be imagining it) but i am not consistent in this.

First pregnancy I got my first one on my temple. Had it for about 35 years. One day it started itching so I was rubbing it. Bits fell off so I kept going until it was all gone.

Post menopause they've popped up everywhere round my neck. I'm saving up for a freezing session or ten at a clinic

@OldKingCole would you mind telling me what clinic you went to ? I see it cost €250 so I'm hoping you're in Ireland 🤞🤞

I went to a dermatologist and she froze off loads of them for £200. I didn’t realise I had so many! I think I’ll have to do it every few years as I have a few small new ones three years later.

Mines are on tummy and around breasts, wondering if they are DPN Papulosa nigra or sebhoric keratosis, as haven’t officially got the name of what they are . Any ideas

Hi

It's comforting to know others suffer with these to. I've had two ofrozen and then cut of ,for medical reasons, but they always grow back.! Either in same place or near . I was wondering if anyone has tried any complimentary medicines that worked?
I'm thinking if trying some of these methods mentioned here.

I’ve tried apple cider vinegar but no help.
