Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Nottingham
What is Seborrhoeic Keratosis?
Seborrhoeic keratosis — also known as seborrhoeic warts or basal cell papillomas — is a common, benign skin growth that typically appears as a waxy, raised or flat growth in shades of brown, black, or tan. They most commonly appear on the face, chest, shoulders, and back, and can develop a rough or scaly surface over time.
While seborrhoeic keratoses are entirely harmless and do not require medical treatment, many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or when they become irritated, itchy, or catch on clothing.
Important: Get Any New or Changing Growths Checked
Seborrhoeic keratosis can sometimes resemble other types of skin growths, including skin cancer. It is important that any new, changing, or uncertain skin growth is examined by a dermatologist before undergoing any removal treatment. At Park Skin Clinic, your specialist will assess your lesion thoroughly at the consultation and will advise you if further examination is recommended before proceeding.

If there is any uncertainty about the nature of your growth, your specialist may recommend a dermatologist assessment before proceeding with removal. This is to ensure your safety and that the lesion has been correctly identified.
How is the cost calculated?
Pricing is based on the size of the lesion. As a rough guide, a 5p-sized keratosis would cost approximately £400 to remove. Your specialist will provide a personalised quote at consultation.

Our Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal Treatments
Cryotherapy
The growth is frozen using liquid nitrogen, causing the tissue to die and fall away naturally. A highly effective option for many seborrhoeic keratoses.
Curettage
The growth is carefully shaved away using a specialist instrument. Precise and effective for raised lesions.
Electrocautery
The growth is removed using a controlled electric current. Minimises bleeding and is suitable for lesions of varying sizes.
Laser Therapy
The growth is precisely destroyed using laser technology — ideal for lesions in more delicate or visible areas where precision is paramount.
