Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a common, usually benign skin growth that often appears with age. These waxy, raised, rough, or “stuck-on” spots may be tan, brown, black, gray, or flesh-colored and can appear on the face, chest, back, shoulders, scalp, or other areas of the body.
Although seborrheic keratoses are usually harmless, they can be cosmetically bothersome, itchy, irritated by clothing, or accidentally scratched.
