Seborrhoeic Keratosis: A Common, Harmless Skin Condition

Seborrhoeic keratosis are warty harmless growths which can be mistaken for other skin issues due to their appearance.

Characteristics of Seborrhoeic Keratosis

  • Appear as flat or raised, with a rough or warty texture
  • Commonly found on the face, chest, back, and shoulders
  • Range in colour from tan to deep brown or black

Who Gets Seborrhoeic Keratosis?

Seborrhoeic keratosis is particularly common in individuals over the age of 60, with more than 90% of people in this age group having at least one of these spots. They typically start to appear in people’s 30s or 40s and are equally common among men and women of all skin types.

Causes of Seborrhoeic Keratosis

The cause of seborrhoeic keratosis remains unclear. Despite its name, these growths are not related to sebaceous (oil) glands or the skin’s oil production and are not restricted to traditionally “oily” areas like the scalp or face. Seborrhoeic keratosis is simply a natural part of aging for many individuals.
