Genetic Tendency For Sebhorrheic Keratosis. Red, Brown Spots On Body. Has Accelerated Recently. Will It Subside Or Increase? When?

For the past month I have been getting red and brown spots on my body. I have two new ones on my thighs that are rather large. I know I have a genetic tendency for sebhorrheic Keratosis, but it has accelerated lately and I am concerned. It happened after I had two mri's in one week. I am very depressed and anxious and wonder if it will slow down at some point. Thanks, Kim
