Can Anything Cure Seborrheic Keratosis?

Monday, 17 May 2010 08:58 AM EDT


Question: Is there any herbal or pharmaceutical cure for seborrheic keratosis?

Dr. Hibberd's Answer:

I know of no herbal cure for sebhorrheic keratosis. These are oily and sometimes slightly scaly "stuck-on" lesions that can be easily removed by scraping down to the skin's surface. They can be prevented from returning by lightly desiccating the base or using a CryoProbe at your doctor's office.

There is a topical prescription medication called Aldara that will clear keratosis. It is a topical immune modulator and is quite expensive. It does a superb job of eliminating many keratosis lesions, usually without the tell-tale depigmented areas or scars left by CryoProbe and surgical removal.
