Burning them off with a CO 2 Laser would be ideal
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have read your question and I have noted your concern.
Seborrheic keratosis are ideally removed with a minor procedure i.e CO2 Laser. The down time would be about a week or so. Initially the Laser would vaporise those keratosis lesions leaving behind erosions that would scab and fall off within a week as the epidermis re-epithelises.
Topical preparations like 5-flourouracil or Tazarotene gel, one of which you probably used on earlier occasions, may also be used but they are certainly very irritating and might take longer to act and might also have some post inflammatory changes for a certain period of time.
Therefore in my view burning them off with a CO 2 Laser is the best way to get rid of keratosis, with the advantages of a short recovery time of about a week and healing without any complications or only transient post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which can be easily camouflaged with make up.
