Seborrhoeic keratoses, get it removed by electrocautery

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be seborrhoeic keratoses which is a benign tumor of skin cells.
You can consult a dermatologist and get it removed by electrocautery.
It is a minor office procedure which will take 20-25 minutes.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
