Sam W. Lee attended the University of California to pursue his Ph.D. in genetics. Additionally, he went on to study cancer genetics at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Currently, Sam W. Lee serves as an associate biologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. One of his focus areas is dermatology.
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that provides diagnosis and treatment for skin conditions such as seborrheic keratosis. A common, benign skin growth, middle-aged adults and older adults may notice these growths more. While it’s common to have multiple growths with seborrheic keratosis, some people may experience just one.
As the growths start to appear, they may develop throughout the body, and appear on the back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and scalp. Seborrheic keratosis growths start out small with a rough texture. As the growth progresses, it may take on a thick, wart-like appearance. Waxy, raised surfaces are another way to describe these growths.
If you believe you have this type of growth on your body, it’s important to recognize the texture as it can be hard to distinguish from melanoma growths. It is best to have a doctor evaluate and determine the final diagnosis.
