Seborrhoeic Warts Removal In Nottingham

What is Seborrhoeic Keratosis?

Seborrhoeic wart is also known as Seborrhoeic Keratosis or Basal Cell Papillomas.

Seborrheic keratosis is a common, harmless skin growth that typically appears as a waxy, brown, black, or tan growth on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. They can be flat or raised and have a rough or scaly surface.

While seborrheic keratosis is benign and does not require treatment, some people may choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated or itchy. There are several methods for removing seborrheic keratosis, including:

  • Cryotherapy: The growth is frozen with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off.
  • Curettage: The growth is shaved off with a sharp instrument.
  • Electrocautery: The growth is burned off with an electric current.
  • Laser therapy: The growth is destroyed with a laser.

Our advanced methods are designed to minimise bleeding and eliminate the need for stitches. Recovery typically takes approximately 10 days, accompanied by a scab. You will be advised to keep the treated area away from direct sunlight.

Aftercare advice for seborrheic keratosis removal includes:

  • Keep the area clean and dry.
  • Avoid touching or scratching the area.
  • Apply an antibiotic ointment to the area if instructed.
  • Avoid sun exposure to the area until it has fully healed.
  • Follow any additional instructions from your doctor or dermatologist.

It is essential to note that seborrheic keratosis can resemble other types of growths, such as skin cancer; therefore, it is crucial to have any new or changing growths examined by a doctor or dermatologist.

Treatment is £80, following a consultation with our assistant practitioner.  The rough guidance is that a 5-pence-sized keratosis would cost £400 to remove.
