Home Treatment
If clothing and daily activities irritate a seborrheic keratosis, you can cover it with an adhesive bandage to prevent rubbing and bleeding.
If you have had a seborrheic keratosis removed, your doctor will tell you how to care for the wound as it heals. You may need to clean the area regularly and apply antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.
