Q. What is 40% hydrogen peroxide used for?
Hydrogen peroxide 40% is indicated for the treatment of seborrheic keratoses that are raised.
Q. Can a keratosis be removed?
You can have a seborrheic keratosis removed if it becomes irritated or bleeds, or if you don’t like how it looks or feels. Several options are available for removing a seborrheic keratosis: Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery). Cryosurgery can be an effective way to remove a seborrheic keratosis.
Q. Can you pick off a seborrheic keratosis?
Most seborrheic keratoses do not cause any symptoms and do not require treatment, however, many people are bothered by their cosmetic appearance and want them removed. The growths should not be scratched off. This does not remove the growths and can lead to bleeding and possible secondary infection.
Q. What triggers seborrheic keratosis?
It’s not clear what exactly causes seborrheic keratoses. They tend to run in families, so genes may be a cause. Normal skin aging plays a role because the growths are more common with age. Too much sun exposure may also play a role.
Q. What happens if you pick actinic keratosis?
While typically asymptomatic, lesions may be tender and produce itching, stinging, and burning in the affected area. While an actinic keratosis can sometimes resolve on its own, it usually recurs after further sun exposure; if scratched or picked off, it will return as well.
Q. Can you scratch off actinic keratosis?
The Treatment On occasion, an actinic keratosis will disappear on its own, but it will return when the skin is exposed to the sun again. If you scratch a lesion off, it will grow back. If treated early enough, an actinic keratosis can be removed before it becomes cancerous.
Q. What happens if Actinic keratosis is left untreated?
Actinic keratosis (AK) causes rough, scaly skin patches. Left untreated, AK can lead to a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. The best way to prevent AK is to protect yourself from sun damage. If you notice new red or rough bumps on your skin, call your healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment.
Q. Is there an over the counter treatment for actinic keratosis?
Topical imiquimod cream stimulates a local immune response in the skin, leading to destruction of the actinic keratosis cells. It can be applied at home and is typically used two to three times a week for up to 16 weeks, making this a longer course of treatment compared to topical fluorouracil.
