Seborrheic Keratoses

Seborrheic keratoses are common, harmless, waxy or warty growths that appear with age. They need no treatment — Dr. Maharania can confirm the diagnosis so you know it is nothing to worry about.

Symptoms & signs

Signs of Seborrheic Keratoses can vary from person to person. Common ones include:

  • Waxy, 'stuck-on' looking growths
  • Brown, black or tan colour
  • Slightly raised, rough surface
  • Most common after age 50

When to see a dermatologist

  • The problem is spreading, worsening, or not improving with home care.
  • It is painful, itchy, bleeding, or affecting your sleep or confidence.
  • Over-the-counter creams have not helped after about two weeks.

Treatment approach

Most seborrheic keratoses need no treatment. Dr. Maharania confirms the diagnosis and checks that it is not a mole or suspicious growth. If it catches, bleeds, irritates, or you want removal, he can advise referral options.

What to expect

1

Assessment

Dr. Maharania examines the affected area and asks about your history, triggers and any treatments you've already tried.

2

Diagnosis

A clear explanation of what it most likely is, what warning signs matter, and whether referral is needed.

3

Next step

Observation, medicines where appropriate, or referral guidance if a procedure or specialist care is needed.

4

Follow-up

Follow-up only when needed, with WhatsApp available for appointment help and practical guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Are seborrheic keratoses dangerous?
Usually no. They are common harmless growths. A new, rapidly changing, bleeding or unusual-looking spot should still be examined.
Can WhatsApp help before I visit?
WhatsApp can help with appointment booking and basic guidance, but most patients are best assessed in person at the clinic.
When should one be checked?
Get checked if the growth is new, changing quickly, bleeding, painful, very dark, irregular, or different from your other spots.
Where can I consult for Seborrheic Keratoses?
Dr. Kailash Maharania sees patients at Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur and at Jhunjhunu. WhatsApp is available for appointment booking, timings and directions when you cannot visit immediately.
