What are the Causes of Seborrheic Keratosis?
The exact causes of seborrheic keratosis are not fully understood. However, several factors may contribute to their development. Age is considered a significant risk factor, as seborrheic keratosis tends to appear more frequently in older individuals. Genetic predisposition also plays a role, as these growths often run in families. Sun exposure may be another contributing factor, as seborrheic keratosis commonly appears in sun-exposed areas. Hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or menopause, have been associated with an increased incidence of these growths. While the precise mechanisms are not known, the interplay of these factors likely influences the development of seborrheic keratosis.
What Are the Treatments for Seborrheic Keratosis?
There are several treatment options available. Cryosurgery involves freezing the growths with liquid nitrogen, causing them to gradually fall off. Curettage involves scraping off the lesions with a special instrument. Electrosurgery uses an electrical current to remove the growths. Laser therapy can be employed to target and eliminate seborrheic keratosis. Topical medications, such as hydrogen peroxide or tretinoin cream, may help reduce their appearance. It’s essential to consult with a dermatologist who can evaluate the specific situation and recommend the most suitable treatment option.
