Suggest Treatment For Seborrhoic Keratosis
Question: I started seeing a derma due to some skin spots my primary doctor identified. He referred me to the derma. The derma froze a few sites and sent a couple of sample for testing. Everything came back negative.

Brief Answer:
Negative means no cancer. Now its up to you
Detailed Answer:
Hi, So from what I understand. You have a skin lesion that was biopsied and it has come back negative for Melanoma from the Pathologist. That's great. Now, I was looking at other pictures you have uploaded to the site and it seem like you have dark spots that resemble Keratosis. Many people can have a version of that called Seborrhoic Keratosis. There is no treatment required for these spots.
If you would like you can go back to the Dermatologist and ask about "Dermabrasion" or something similar to make the spots less apparent if they are bothering you.
To sum up. If the spots are negatove for cancer, your in the clear and there is no tearing rush to go see the dermatologist. the rest is cosmetic and you can look into that if you wish.
Hope this helps.
