Brief Answer:
Seborrhic keratosis

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about having new black lesions on your skin. The picture you submitted appears to show what we call seborrhic keratosis. These are benign skin lesions that occur as we get older. They are part of the normal aging process. These lesions will never turn in to cancerous cells. There is also no treatment for the lesions.

In summary
1. seborrhic keratosis
2. normal
3. no treatment
4. no transformation to cancer.

I hope this answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care questions and concerns
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
