I am afraid I can do little to help your husband's Seborrheic Keratosis (SK) problem. (This problem is a different to Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD) which we have a great product for)

Seborrheic Keratoses (SK) is very common in Australia and it is important to rule out the possibility of a skin cancer. Even though the problem was diagnosed as seborrheic keratosis it is important to get it rechecked if the diagnosis was made some time ago. On rare occasions they can become cancerous.

Seborrheic Keratoses first appear in people from age 30 years and older. High exposure to sunlight can increase the chance of getting them. It is important that a doctor excludes the possibility of cancer by doing a biopsy, taking a small part of the skin and having it examined at a pathology Lab. to ensure it is not cancerous.

Although uncommon, cancer may develop under the keratosis even if you have had it for years so any change in the lump should be checked. Seborreic Kertatoses are treated by removal which can be done on small lumps by freezing with liquid nitrogen. Larger areas may need treatment by cosmetic Laser.

The main problem with Seborrheic Keratoses is they appear ugly and if they are raised and on the head they can catch on combs., I am sorry, but I am unaware of any medication that may help.

Dear David 
- Could you please contact me at my email address  
(or leave the net off if it dosnt work because it is my new address) 
as I could not find your email address.  
Could you please recommend what my husband PE should use on his scalp (head) for
Seborrheic Kerotosis diagnosed by his dr. years ago and are spreading and
look gross and feel gross although he says they do not itch.  Because they
are still slowly spreading and covering such a large area I feel we should
do something about it.

Could you please send me an email with your recommendation -I have read
about your products and weould like to give them a go.  Can you
help?.........Of course you will get the best ever testamonial if this
works.

Seborrhoeic keratoses (SK) are due to the cells growing and forming a layer which is usually thicker and a different colour to the surrounding skin. As you have found they are inclined to grow back. There is a non-surgical treatment which is quite effective called Solaraze ( 3% Diclofenac Gel) which is a prescription item in Australia. It is quite effective applied for a period of 60-90 days until the desired result is achieved.
