General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hello, thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
Ammonium lactate and alpha hydroxy acids have been reported to reduce the height of seborrheic keratoses. Superficial lesions can be treated by carefully applying pure trichloroacetic acid and repeating if the full thickness is not removed on the first treatment.
Topical treatment with tazarotene cream 0.1% applied twice daily for 16 weeks caused clinical improvement in seborrheic keratoses .
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you. Best regards Dr Xhufka.
