Dr. Beal is always so friendly and pleasant. He takes care of what is going on at the time and gives you options as to what you can do then and in the future. Office staff is always friendly and accommodating. Wait times are usually short and it is easy to get an appointment. Nice to have a doctor who cares and listens to you.

So greatful to have this office in Troy. Dr Beal and Dr Swofford are awesome. I've had skin cancer surgery, red light procedure and a plantar wart removal on my foot. All with great results. Staff in the office is always polite and professional. If you need a dermatologist, I highly recommend them.

What are seborrheic keratoses?

Seborrheic keratoses are common, non-cancerous skin growths that tend to occur as people age. They can be brown or black and have a warty appearance.

Seborrheic keratoses are frequently found on the chest, back, neck, and head. They can sometimes be irritated with itching or rubbing.

How is seborrheic keratosis diagnosed?

A dermatologist’s exam is frequently all that is needed. The seborrheic keratosis can be biopsied or removed if there is a concern.

What are the treatment options for seborrheic keratosis?

  • Minor surgery to remove the growth (curettement)
  • Shave biopsy
  • Chemical peel
  • Laser surgery

What can you expect?

Before any procedure, you will have a consultation with our expert cosmetic dermatologists. The physician will listen to you, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.

Any seborrheic keratosis causing irritation can be removed with almost no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day. Because seborrheic keratoses are benign (non-cancerous) growths, insurance companies often will not pay for their removal. Often, there is an out-of-pocket cost that is not covered by insurance associated with the removal of seborrheic keratoses.

Is treatment of seborrheic keratosis safe?

All procedures carry some risk. However, complications from treatment procedures for seborrheic keratosis are uncommon when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists.
