Age warts<\/strong> are elevated skin changes.\u00a0They are most common on the face, chest, and back.\u00a0Age warts can come as early as the age of twenty and become more common with age.\u00a0Warts do not infect and are completely harmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name age blemishes come from the fact that the stains can resemble warts.\u00a0Sometimes they are also called seborrheic warts or dandruff, which is a translation of the medical name seborrheic keratosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warts are benign skin changes that do not turn into cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms of age warts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Age warts<\/em> often come quickly.\u00a0The color can be anything from white to brownish-black but is usually light brown, brown or grayish black.\u00a0The surface can be oily or dry and scaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You usually do not feel that you have age warts, but they can be quite large and easily visible. Sometimes they sit so that they scratch or get stuck in clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, but it is unusual, warts for a period of a few weeks can be inflamed and slightly sore.\u00a0It is called inflamed or irritated age blemishes.\u00a0It is common for them to then fall off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment for age warts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is not possible to prevent age warts<\/span>.\u00a0If you have any problems with them, for example, if you find them to be unsightly, a doctor or nurse can easily remove them by scraping or freezing.\u00a0You will have to pay for this treatment yourself.\u00a0It is common for age warts to come back after they have been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since age warts never develop into cancer, they do not need to be cut off. It is usually easy for a doctor to assess what it is by looking at the skin change, but sometimes you may be able to have a skin test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should I seek care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should let a doctor examine the skin change if it bleeds or changes. The same applies if it becomes infected and does not get better in a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can contact a health care center if you are unsure if this is an age warning you have received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
