Q & A
What Leads to Age Spots?

Seborrheic keratoses are benign spots that typically appear brown or tan and may feel rough to the touch. These spots often begin to develop in your 30s and continue to emerge with age. Commonly known as “sun spots,” they are frequently the result of accumulated sun exposure over time, though they can also be hereditary.

Can Age Spots Elevate My Skin Cancer Risk?

The most common form of treatment for seborrheic keratoses is cryotherapy or treatment with liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, some types of seborrheic keratoses may be treated with electrodesiccation (or cautery). These types of treatments can be done fairly quickly at an in-office visit. Unfortunately, procedures to remove asymptomatic seborrheic keratoses are not covered by insurance. In some cases, topical treatment with prescription medications may be recommended.

Unfortunately, removal of asymptomatic seborrheic keratoses is not covered by insurance. In some cases, a topical prescription medication may also be recommended.
