Seborrhoeic keratosis can be removed by curettage. The procedure causes only slight pain, and no local anaesthesia is necessary. During scraping with the curette, pull the skin to the opposite direction with you finger. Curettage does not cause scarring. Recurrence of seborrhoeic keratosis is common. Cryotherapy is a good treatment option if available.
