The most common treatment for seborrheic keratoses is cryotherapy, which involves applying liquid nitrogen to freeze the spots. Alternatively, certain types of seborrheic keratoses may be treated with electrodessication (cautery). Both of these procedures can be performed quickly during an in-office visit. It’s important to note that removal of asymptomatic seborrheic keratoses is typically not covered by insurance. In some cases, a prescription topical treatment may also be recommended.
