Seborrheic keratoses: Signs and symptoms
What are the signs of seborrheic keratoses?
Seborrheic keratoses tend to:
Start as small, rough bumps, then slowly thicken and develop a warty surface
Have a waxy, stuck-on-the-skin look
Be brown, though they range in color from white to black
Range in size from a fraction of an inch to larger than a half-dollar
Form on the chest, back, stomach, scalp, face, neck, or other parts of the body (but not on the palms and soles)
Cause no pain, though some itch
