AB Seborrheic  keratoses  are  benign  papules  and  plaques,  beige  to  brown  or  even  black,  3–20  mm  in  diameter,  with  a  velvety  or  warty  surface  (Figure  6–4)  (eFigure  6–6).  They  appear  to  be  stuck  or  pasted  onto  the  skin.  They  are  extremely  common—especially  in  older  adults—and  may  be  mistaken  for  melanomas  or  other  types  of  cutaneous  neoplasms.  No  treatment  is  needed.  They  may  be  frozen  with  liquid  nitrogen  or  curetted  if  itchy  or  inflamed  but  usually  recur  after  treatment.
