Brief Answer:
Seems like Seborrheic keratoses, nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your complaints and reviewed the attached photographs.

You seem to be having seborrhoeic keratoses.
It is a benign growth of skin keratinocytes which is very common in general population.

There's nothing to worry about.

You can consult a dermatologist and get it removed by electrocautery or radiofrequency ablation.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
