Can Keratosis With Mild Squamous Atypia Become Skin Cancer?
Hello my physician recently advised after a consult I have irritated keratosis with mild squamous atypia what does this mean and she advised cryotherapy. I have been addressing this issue to physicians since 6-7 years ago and finally a new physician was able to tell me what this was. I am a little worried she told me within the next 20 years it could turn into skin cancer. Is this true

Hello
Welcome to HCM
yes sometimes seborrheic keratosis progresses to basal cell carcinoma.
Treatment option for this is cryosurgery ,electrosurgery or currettage .
so dont worry go ahead with what your doctor advised.
Thank you
