A soft growth on a stalk may be a skin tag. Different lesions need different care, so assessment comes first.

( Seborrheic keratosis )

Start by knowing what the growth is

Seborrheic keratoses often have a rough, waxy or “stuck-on” appearance. They become more common with age and can run in families. Some itch or rub against clothing.

Appearance Concerns
Appearance alone is not a diagnosis. A new, changing, bleeding or unusual growth needs medical assessment before removal. An in-house consultation is recommended before removal. A changing, bleeding or uncertain growth needs diagnostic assessment before a cosmetic procedure.
( Removal options )

Choose care for the individual growth

Many confirmed seborrheic keratoses can be left alone. If removal is appropriate, MarSha offers freezing and cauterization, with the choice guided by the lesion and your skin.

Freezing

Cryotherapy uses controlled cold to treat the growth. The area may blister or crust as the treated tissue comes away.

Cauterization

Controlled heat treats the growth. Discuss comfort measures and care for the healing area before proceeding.

Skin and site matter

Size, thickness, location and skin tone influence the plan. Pigment changes or scarring are possible, particularly with some methods and skin types.

( What to expect )

Your keratosis treatment appointment

Consultations at MarSha MedSpa take place in Garner, North Carolina, for clients from Raleigh, Cary and across the Triangle.

Have the growth assessed

Discuss its history, symptoms and any changes. An uncertain lesion may need biopsy or specialist assessment.

Discuss the options

Review observation or removal, the suitable method, likely healing, risks and cost.

Treat if appropriate

Freezing or cauterization may be used for a confirmed suitable growth. Treatment is not automatic at consultation.

Leave with clear aftercare

Follow the wound-care plan and return for review if healing or the remaining growth needs assessment.
Appointment length depends on assessment, the number and location of growths and the chosen method. Confirm the time to allow when booking.
( Your goals )

Review the treated area after healing

Matched photographs should show the same lesion and a documented healing interval. Genuine MarSha treatment cases are pending; results vary.

Progress and Maintenance:

Healing takes time

A blister, crust or healing mark may appear. Let the area heal without picking; timing varies by site and method.

Check the skin’s response

Redness or lighter or darker skin can persist. A completely mark-free result cannot be guaranteed.

Review new or returning growths

Most fully removed growths do not return, but another can develop elsewhere. A changing or recurring spot needs assessment.

( Is it for you? )

Is removal appropriate for your growth?

The first decision is whether this is a benign seborrheic keratosis. Not every rough or pigmented spot belongs on a cosmetic-removal pathway.

A good fit if

  • A provider has assessed the growth as a suitable seborrheic keratosis.
  • It repeatedly catches, itches or becomes irritated, or its appearance bothers you.
  • You understand wound care and the possibility of a lasting pigment change or scar.

Discuss before you begin

  • The spot is rapidly changing, bleeding without clear cause or difficult to identify.
  • There is infection, a wound or significant inflammation in the treatment area.
  • You have poor healing, a history of raised scars or medical factors that may affect treatment.
Actinic keratosis and keratosis pilaris are different conditions. Ask for the right diagnosis rather than choosing treatment from the name alone.

( Treatment care )

Questions before you book?

No. Seborrheic keratoses are benign growths. Actinic keratoses are sun-damage-related precancerous lesions, while keratosis pilaris causes small follicular bumps. Some skin cancers can resemble a benign growth, so uncertain or changing lesions need medical assessment and sometimes biopsy before removal.

Their exact cause is not fully understood. They become more common with age and can run in families. They are not contagious and usually persist. A confirmed, comfortable growth often needs no treatment; irritation or an appearance concern may be reasons to discuss removal.

MarSha offers freezing and cauterization for suitable seborrheic keratoses. The growth’s thickness, location and your skin help determine the method and healing plan.

Location, thickness, hair-bearing skin and pigment or scarring risk affect the decision. Facial and scalp growths need individual assessment, especially near the eyes. Confirm whether MarSha can treat the specific site or whether specialist care is more appropriate. Do not use acids or attempt to cut off an uncertain growth.

Freezing can sting, and heat-based treatment may require a comfort plan. Blistering, crusting or tenderness can follow. Healing varies with the method, size, site and your health; discuss your expected course and event plans beforehand. Scarring or a lasting pigment change is possible.

MarSha MedSpa is self-pay. Your assessment guides the treatment plan and any personalized quotation. Call (919) 747-9733 or Contact Us to arrange your visit.
