I'll start with, I am an RN. Yes, there are different types of keratoses. I am covered with the seborrheic type. My heritage is Irish and Danish(very prone to this condition). It is very rare to have just one or two. Be sure to check with a dermatologist before removing a single lesion. I have had many removed with liquid nitrogen. This gets to be very expensive. Recently, I read about using the can of spray used to clean your computer. If you turn the can upside down and spray, you get a frigid blast, very similar to liquid nitrogen. It works. I have also used dry ice and this is just as successful. I am very skeptical of the potions like ACV and eggplant. Just freeze them and get it over with.

There are drill bits that cut cylindrical plugs, called 'plug cutters'. Don't touch the dry ice with fingers - use pliars with insulated handles, or something to protect hands.

The dermatologist sprays something one them to freeze them and they will be gone in a week or so. It kind of burns a little and then scabs but works. No need for surgery!!!!! I've had it done numerous times.

Your remedy was encouraging! My question is: where do you get "drill to drill" plugs of dry ice?

Dry Ice for Seborrheic Keratosis:

If you have a handy spouse or friend you use dry ice and freeze the uglies off. Use a drill to drill plugs of dry ice and hold ice onto ugly for about 13 seconds. Hurts no worsen than having a doctor freeze them off. Hubs does this to me about once a year. Works good.
