I Have A Small Lump Which Diagnosed By Dr. Asmeet

Posted on Sun, 14 Oct 2018
Question: I have a small lump which diagnosed by Dr. Asmeet XXXXXXX Sawhney as seborrhoeic keratoses in August. It grew outward from the skin quickly enough so that I could notice it was perhaps 2 or 2 mm. Then recently part of it fell or was rubbed off and I could see the area was pink from blood. Is this usu al for seborrhoeic keratoses or should I be concerned?
thanks, XXXXXXX
