GLOSSARY
Seborrheic Keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses are raised growths on the skin. Seborrheic means greasy and keratosis means thickening of the skin. There may be just one or clusters of dozens. They usually start off light tan in color and then may darken to dark brown or nearly black. They may be oval spots a fraction of an inch across, or form long Christmas tree-like patterns on the torso that are inches long.
The consistent feature of seborrheic keratoses is their waxy, pasted-on or stuck-on look. The look is often compared to brown candle wax that was dropped onto the skin.
