Common Questions and Answers about Seborrheic dermatitis keratosis
seborrheic-dermatitis
Could be "seborrheic keratosis" relating to age. With out photograph very difficult to opine.
But last year at the age of 27, my dermatologist diagnosed me with rosacea (which my father has) and seborrheic dermatitis. When I started researching about both I found that seborrheic dermatitis is associated with HIV. Then, not long after I got ringworm on my face. A year later I now live on a different country and colder climate, I now have eczema. Are my skin conditions related to HIV? I've never had an HIV test.
Other differentials will be seborrheic dermatitis and keratosis pilaris. Seborrheic dermatitis may present with a greasy yellow scale while keratosis pilaris may present with a rough sandpapery feel over the skin. I would suggest that skin scrapings of the affected skin be obtained and microscopically evaluated. This will help ascertain if a fungal or bacterial infection is present.
A seborrheic wart is caused by Seborrheic Keratosis, not HPV. If it helps, consider it a Seborrheic growth, and not a wart.
We don't really know what causes SK, but it isn't HPV. It's something entirely different. It's not related to sexual activity, either.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra/Seborrheic keratosis possibly. Cryotherapy, lasers help. Not serious but do consult your doc.
These look like seborrheic keratosis(not serious). The green pigment may be from outside relating to applications, or copper from water, as in swimming pools.
Its about the size of a navy bean, and it has a rough crusty like texture. Research leans me towards a seborrheic keratosis. I really cant afford to go see a doctor. Can you help me?
Hello,
It is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis without examination but it can be seborrheic keratosis. Seborrheic keratosis is a benign tumor of the skin and is not malignant. A biopsy of the skin can be done to confirm the diagnosis and differentiate it from a malignancy.

re more likely to be susceptible to other similar skin conditions - could also be a small patch of seborrheic dermatitis which can show up on oily areas of the face.
I used to love wearing different coloured eyeshadow, now I don’t wear any make-up at all. I also suffer from Seborrheic Dermatitis and Keratosis Pilaris (if there is any link?).
About year ago, I went to see the dermatologist because I had a small bump on my scalp. It turned out that I had Seborrheic Keratosis. He told me that I could do surgery or freezing to remove it, but it might grow back. Well I did the freezing method and it did come back. Now I am wondering is their a home remedy to get rid of the wart on my scalp permanently? What worked for you.
The pathologist has stated that it can be a seborrheic keratosis or a melanoma. Seborrheic keratosis is a benign growth and does not turn malignant. But melanoma needs to be ruled out as cellular atypia is seen. I would suggest you a repeat biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Please discuss this with your dermatologist.

I went to a dermatologist and he said it was a seborrheic keratosis and froze it off because it was irritated where I had been messing with it and where my skin rubs together in the groin fold. I have a history of having those in the groin area, most recently being back in 2010. The two in 2010 were biopsied and given hpv staining. All came back good and they were diagnosed as seborrheic keratosis.
Hello,
For such recurrent scabs, any benign skin growth like a seborrheic keratosis or a common wart caused by HPV need to be ruled out. A senile wart also called as seborrheic keratosis is a noncancerous benign skin growth that originates in keratinocytes and are round or oval, flat or slightly elevated, light tan to black and very small to more than 2.5 centimetres in size lesions which may resemble warts.
I suggest you to get it examined from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
I was diagnosed by my dermatologist as having Seborrheic Dermatitis however all medications that I have tried have not been working so my doctor has precribed quite a strong medication called Azapress (a generic medication for Imuran). Thus, my questions are as follows:
1. Will this disease ever go away?
2. What is the success rate for this medication to deal with Seborrheic Dermatitis and what are other options?
Hence if your child is school going then it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis. However it is often hereditary and if you have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis, then your child carries the risk of having it in future life during adulthood.
Moreover it causes redness and inflammation of skin with yellow patches or red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. Hence it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis in your child’s case but confirmation needs to be done.
Hello,
It looks like small mole, benign growth like seborrheic keratosis or a HPV wart. Seborrheic keratosis is a benign skin growth and the cause is exactly not known but sunlight and hereditary predisposition have been proposed. The treatment methods employed are cryotherapy with carbon dioxide (dry ice) or liquid nitrogen, electrodesiccation, electrodesiccation and curettage, curettage alone, shave biopsy or excision using a scalpel, or a laser or dermabrasion surgery.
