Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal
At Kirbha Clinic, seborrheic keratosis removal is performed by Mr Bhagwat Mathur.
Seborrheic keratoses are common, benign skin growths that often appear as raised, waxy, or ‘stuck-on’ lesions. The condition may cause a solitary lesion or multiple lesions, usually on the face, chest, back, or other areas. While harmless, they can be itchy, catch on clothing, and unwanted in appearance. Accurate assessment by an experienced consultant is essential, particularly to distinguish these lesions from simple moles and potentially malignant growths.
Procedures are carried out at our clinics in London, Essex and East of England, typically under local anaesthetic as a day case. Mr Mathur uses precise surgical techniques such as curettage, cryotherapy, or elliptical excision, selected according to lesion size, location, and patient preference. His meticulous approach ensures rapid healing, and natural results with minimal scarring. Many patients benefit from same-day consultation and treatment, allowing safe, efficient care with continuity from initial assessment to aftercare.
Seborrheic keratoses often increase in number with age, but their removal is straightforward under experienced hands. Mr Mathur emphasises personalised treatment planning, informed consent, and thorough follow-up, supporting both the physical and emotional wellbeing of patients. With decades of experience and specialist knowledge, he ensures all procedures are conducted safely, with optimal cosmetic outcomes and minimal disruption to daily life.

Frequently asked questions
Are seborrheic keratosis removal procedures painful?
Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, making treatment virtually painless. Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur during healing, which is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Mr Mathur ensures comfort and minimal tissue trauma throughout.
How long does it take to see results?
Visible surface improvement is immediate, though full healing typically takes 1-2 weeks. Larger or multiple lesions may take slightly longer.
Are there any side effects?
Minor swelling, redness, or temporary pigmentation changes are common. Serious complications are uncommon. Follow-up ensures proper healing and scar settlement.
How should I care for the area after removal?
Keep the treated area clean and dry, follow dressing instructions, and avoid picking of any scabs -these will come off naturally once the wound is healed. Sun protection and use of moisturiser is advised to prevent pigmentation changes. Mr Mathur provides personalised aftercare guidance for optimal recovery.
Can seborrheic keratoses return after removal?
Once removed, the treated lesions do not return. However, new growths may develop over time.
What can I expect as a patient at Kirbha Clinic?
Every patient benefits from consultant-led care at every stage. Your journey begins with a consultation with Mr Mathur, who assesses the lesions and develops a personalised removal plan. Procedures are usually carried out on the same day under local anaesthetic. Post-procedure, clear aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments ensure safe healing and optimal results.
