Curettage of Seborrhoeic Keratosis

Seborrhoeic keratoses grow right on the surface layer of the skin. They can be removed with a curette without leaving a scar. Local anaesthesia is usually not needed either, as the procedure causes little pain. Usually, a seborrhoeic keratosis (which is fairly easily detached, typically on the torso or lateral part of the face) does not need to be sent to a pathologist.
