SEBORRHOEIC KERATOSES (SKs)

• common benign (non-cancerous) growths that can occur almost anywhere on the skin
• usually beginning as small, rough bumps, SKs tend to eventually thicken and develop a warty surface
• the exact cause remains unknown but they seem to run in families
• although these growths develop on both sun-exposed and non sun-exposed skin, some studies have suggested that sun-exposure may play a role
