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 Use Fingernail Surgery to Remove My Seborrheic Keratoses'George D. Lundberg, MD - www.medscape.com:http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/548889...I was a little skeptical, but couldn't believe how easily these things scrape right off.

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 important thing to keep in mind is that these lesions are all benign.
Hello, I see you are asking "What are the causes for keratosis pilaris (kp)?" Keratosis pilaris develops when keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually plugs form in many hair follicles, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin. Keratosis pilaris is caused by the buildup of keratin — a hard protein that protects skin from harmful substances and infection.

the symptoms of keratosis pilaris are often seen with ichthyosis and allergic dermatitis. It can also be observed in people of all ages who have either inherited it or have a vitamin A deficiency or have dry skin.
