Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic keratosis is one of the most common types of noncancerous
(benign) skin growths in older adults. In fact, most people develop at
least one seborrheic keratosis at some point in their lives.
A seborrheic keratosis usually appears as a brown, black or pale
growth on the face, chest, shoulders or back. The growth has a waxy,
scaly, slightly elevated appearance. Occasionally, it appears singly,
but multiple growths are more common. Typically, seborrheic keratoses
don't become cancerous, but they can look like skin cancer.
