Dr. Beal was very professional, knowledgeable and empathetic when it came to treating me. He took the time to review various test results I had that were performed by others doctors, Did his own testing, and came up with a treatment plan to help me. It was very refreshing to have a doctor explain things in great detail and answer all my questions. I would highly recommend Dr Beal to be trusted for all your skincare needs. UPDATE: Today I had an appointment with Jennifer Swofford, PA. Herself and all staff were again very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I was reassured not to worry about my initial concerns and was able to even have a mole removed same day as a consultation. It was very quick and easy. Highly recommend this group!

Was not able to get to regular dermatologist. Called St Louis Dermatology in Troy MO, they got my husband in right away and preceded with mohs surgery. They were great. Definitely recommend trying 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?
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.
