Age spots or seborrheic keratoses are very common harmless skin growths that appear during adulthood. These are usually raised, brown or black and have a stuck on appearance. They can often be mistaken for a skin cancer. Do seek an early opinion from your trained dermatologist who will be able to advise you on whether a biopsy is required.
A lot of people choose to have their age spots removed for cosmetic reasons or when they cause discomfort or itch. Your dermatologist has performed many age spot removal for patients, whether on the face, trunk, or even sensitive areas near the eye or genitalia.
TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR AGE SPOT REMOVAL
- Cryotherapy - freezing treatment using liquid nitrogen can be used for thin lesions.
- Electrocautery - Following the application of numbing cream or injection, simple electrocautery to each age spot can be performed. There will be some scabbing for 7-10 days, and occasional post treatment pigmentation that is transient. The majority of patients heal with no scarring, leaving even and smooth skin.
