Suggest Treatment For Seborrheic Keratosis On The Right Nipples

Posted on Thu, 15 Jun 2017

Question: Hello. I was diagnosed with sebborheic keratosis on my right nipple, and the dermatologist sprayed liquid nitrogen on two occasions and it improved, but the tissue of the nipple is a little thick and darker now, so maybe it's returned. Is the solution only repeatedly spraying? Please see attached. Thanks.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query on HCM

I do understand your concern

As” per your question I may say that freezing with liquid nitrogen is a procedure to treat sebborheic keratosis where liquid nitrogen is sprayed repeatedly but it is not efficacious for immensely colossal areas. So in my opinion you can discuss with your doctor regarding most the latest methods like [Vaporizing the growth with a laser].

Hope that helps

Thank you, Dr. Sahoo. Do you mean that the nitrogen would not be sufficient for a nipple even after 2 treatments, and that the laser is the only alternative based on how it looks in the photo?

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply

As per your query I may say that it is not sufficient for liquid nitrogen so talk with your treating doctor about Laser ablation if available.
