Seborrheic Keratosis Help!

Posted by crystalranae @crystalranae, Feb 20 11:19am

Has anyone found anything that truly works to get rid of Seborrheic keratosis? I have 100’s on my arms and legs and now they are starting on my stomach. I refuse to wear short sleeves or shorts because they are so ugly😢 They are taking over my body and I can’t find any help.

Very limited. I was using Microsoft Edge which uses Bing for searches. I recently switched to Google Chrome which get a little more information. If you can, search for Nitrizinc Complex® topical solution (NZCS) with Google. But, as usual , the replies are often for warts and AKs but there is some information that might help.

PS: I have so many SKs I don't think anything would help so I've kind of given up.

I’m so sorry. I feel so frustrated and hopeless too. I will keep praying for a cure!

YES!!! fluorouracil cream. Worked better than PDT for me.

I used AHA and Lactic Acid shower gel and cream. They significantly reduced those black spots. I also found that they are related to my gut issues. Whenever my gut is working well with no gas and no issues, these skin bumps tend to go away.

I just want to share something I noticed ...I had a shingles episode a few years ago. I noticed that after taking the medication for shingles the SK spots were greatly reduced for a while. If anyone is still doing research, this might help.

I was able to get rid of most of my DPN bumps on my neck after using Dead Sea salt lotion. But the one I am using is no longer available on Amazon. You can still find different brands there. I think the salt kills any inflammation and minerals make the skin recover faster.

I have THOUSANDS!! After years of frustration I was prescribed acitretin. It healed them all!! Unfortunately after about a year the side effects of that med are affecting bad enough I know have to weigh which is worse. But maybe it won’t affect you. So mention to doctor!

The best and easiest treatment of seborrheic keratoses is liquid nitrogen ( freezing) treatment. Because you have so many your dermatologist would probably treat you with multiple sessions.
The treatment is very effective with almost no risks.

I am currently in Italy and the dermatologist here prescribed me a gel which is the same drug as Voltaren, but at a slightly higher dose - 3% diclofenac diethylamine. It works very well for AK's but not for moles. You need to use it 1-2 X a day for at least 30 days. The AK changes colour - first to red, then pink, and then it disappears.

Don’t give up. Multiple sessions of liquid nitrogen freezing treatments by a dermatologist is extremely effective with almost zero side effects.
