Seborrheic Keratosis & Other Skin Conditions Treated in Kerrville, TX
What Is Seborrheic Keratosis?
Seborrheic keratosis — also known as seborrheic verruca — is one of the most common benign (non-cancerous) skin growths. Most people develop at least one during their lifetime.
These growths often appear as brown, black, or yellow lesions that may look waxy, wart-like, or slightly raised. They can occur anywhere on the body but are most common on the chest, back, face, or shoulders.
Although seborrheic keratoses are harmless, they can sometimes become irritated, itchy, or cosmetically concerning. Because they can resemble precancerous spots like actinic keratoses, dermatologists often perform a quick biopsy to confirm diagnosis.
Seborrheic Keratosis Treatment Options
Treatment for seborrheic keratosis is typically only necessary if the lesion becomes irritated, painful, or cosmetically bothersome.
At Precision Dermatology, treatment options include:
-
Cryotherapy (Freezing): Liquid nitrogen removes the lesion with minimal scarring.
-
Electrocautery (Burning): Safely removes growths using controlled heat.
-
Curettage (Scraping): Gently removes raised tissue after numbing the area.
-
Laser Therapy: A precise, cosmetic approach for smoother skin tone.
Each procedure is quick, performed in-office, and requires little to no downtime.
Other Common Skin Conditions We Treat:
At Precision Dermatology, we provide comprehensive care for a wide range of skin concerns, including
Rashes
Rashes are red, itchy patches or bumps that can result from allergies, infections, or chronic skin disorders. Most rashes are treatable with topical medications, antihistamines, or moisturizers.
Vitiligo
An autoimmune condition that destroys pigment-producing cells, leading to white patches on the skin. Treatment options may include topical steroids, phototherapy, or camouflage techniques.
Hives (Urticaria)
Itchy, red welts that appear suddenly — often triggered by allergies, stress, or medications. Short-term hives resolve quickly, but chronic hives may need dermatologic care and antihistamine therapy.
Keratosis Pilaris
A genetic skin condition that causes rough, “goosebump-like” patches on the arms, thighs, or cheeks. It’s harmless but can be improved with exfoliation and hydrating treatments.
Blisters
Fluid-filled bubbles caused by friction, burns, or allergic reactions. It’s important not to pop blisters, as they act as a protective layer. Seek care if they become painful or infected.
Pruritus (Itching)
Persistent itching can result from dry skin, allergies, or underlying conditions. Dermatologists identify the cause and prescribe moisturizers, antihistamines, or anti-inflammatory treatments.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa
A chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful nodules or abscesses in sweat gland areas (groin, armpits). Early dermatologic care can prevent scarring and reduce flare-ups.
Wrinkles & Sun Damage
Fine lines and wrinkles develop from aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors. We offer preventive guidance and cosmetic options to restore smoother, healthier-looking skin.
