Seborrheic keratoses (SK) are also known as seborrheic warts and basal cell papillomas. They are benign growths caused by a build-up of skin cells. SK are very common, harmless, often brown/black, growths on the skin. In the UK more than half the men and more than a third of women have at least one SK. By the age of 40, 30% of the population are affected while by the age of 70 it increases to 75%. They are also found in younger people. The number of SK varies from person to person.
They are not infectious and do not become skin cancer.
