Seborrheic Keratoses are harmless, common skin growths that first appear during adult life. As time goes by, more growths appear. Some people have a very large number of them. Seborrheic Keratoses appear on both covered and uncovered parts of the body; they are not caused by sunlight. The tendency to develop Seborrheic Keratoses is inherited.

Seborrheic Keratoses are treated by Dr. Green for patients in the DC, Virginia, and Maryland regions. They are harmless and never become malignant. They begin as slightly raised, light brown spots. Gradually they thicken and take on a rough, warty surface. They slowly darken and may turn black. These color changes are harmless. Seborrheic Keratoses are superficial and look as if they were stuck on the skin. People who have had several Seborrheic Keratoses can usually recognize this type of benign growth. However, if you are concerned or unsure about any growth, please consult Dr. Green.

“Dr Green literally…saved my life. Had innocuous cyst on back of elbow, and after going to 2 other doctors who said it was nothing….he took it out and had it biopsied. Turns out it was the deadliest form of cancer, called Merkel, more deadly then Melanoma. He immediately refereed me to INOVA Hospital who did an immediate surgery. There are not enough or right words to thank him in a way that is worthy…..He and his staff are professional, polite and above all excellent….”

“My dermatologist retired and a good friend of mine referred me to Dr. Green for my yearly body check for skin cancer. He was very thorough and explained about other skin issues that were of concern to me. He has a great bedside manner and I didn’t feel embarrassed about having a full body check as he was prudent during the exam. I highly recommend him.” – Darlene F. – Google Review

“New patient! Office was nice. Staff was prompt and friendly. Dr Green was very personable and knowledgeable about skin cancer. A plan is in place for treatment. What a relief after going to other dermatologists who misdiagnosed me. Very thankful and look forward to returning. I’ve already referred two new patients.” – Cindy G.· Yelp Review
