The Board-Certified Dermatologists at Northstar Dermatology specialize in the treatment of seborrheic keratoses, commonly known as “age spots” or “sun spots.”
Seborrheic Keratoses are harmless, brown or tan spots that often feel rough to the touch. They typically start appearing in your 30s and continue to develop with age. Commonly known as “sun spots,” these spots are often linked to prolonged sun exposure over time, although genetics can also play a role in their formation.
Luckily, seborrheic keratoses are non-cancerous. However, it’s essential to distinguish these from other spots that could be cause for concern. If you notice any new or changing spots, particularly those that alter in size, color, or show symptoms like bleeding, schedule an appointment with a Board-Certified Dermatologist at Northstar Dermatology to ensure a thorough evaluation, as these changes could signal malignancy.
