I have used Compund W ( for warts) at home on the spots that are raised. There needs to be several applications . It works like the freezing at the dermatologists office but it takes a little longer.
Plan B:
....You don't even need compound W unless it's bigger than an eraser...
Here's a great answer from a family practitioner:

...I was a little skeptical, but couldn't believe how easily these things scrape right off. (...and if it doesn't scrape right off, it's probably not seborrheic keratosis - in which case you may want to have a doctor check it out for you.)

Correct Answer : False
Seborrheic keratosis is a common, benign, flesh-, brown-, or black-colored tumor.
seborrheic keratosis
Seborrheic karatosis is a skin condition where a benign growth starts to appear. They seem to be seen more as people age. They are not cancerous but can resemble melanoma skin cancer. They can also take the form of a wart like appearance but they have no viral origins.
Well, that's a crazy way of putting it, but I guess you mean seborrheic keratosis.
As a pathologist, I've seen the term used for lesions that appear wart-like, but do not have all of the features needed for a definitive diagnosis of a wart. The histological differential diagnosis includes verruca vulgaris (wart), seborrheic keratosis, prurigo nodularis, and lichen simplex chronicus. The important thing to keep in mind is that these lesions are all benign.
One can remove seborrheic keratoses by the use of hydrogen peroxide and duct tape. Dilute the hydrogen peroxide to 25% concentration and apply to the affected areas of the skin with a cotton cloth. Cover the area with duct tape quickly to ensure the hydrogen peroxide does not evaporate.
