I don't buy the sun exposer theory. Mine are all where the sun never gets to - those parts of my body are always covered.

[Deanriley]

All the keratoses I have are where there is never sun exposure.

I think I need a new skin doctor. When I asked to remove these, I got a lecture on how the Doctor could loose their license and my insurance would not cover their work, as they are not considered life threatening.

Mine are very itchy and dry! Got them all over my back!

[shirleytaylor]

If those few were all I had on my body, I would be so grateful.The doctor would be a millionaire by the time he finished with me.

Loved this so much I shared it on Real Self. I have known patients who have died of skin cancer because they were petrified to see a dermatologist. Thanks for the upbeat but very accurate portrayal of this subject. I am sure it will encourage patients to see their doctors and get reassurance and improve their self image once these "barnacles" are removed.

Informative video. Would have been nice to have seen the followings weeks and the before and after pictures

[cydkriletich]

Hers are so teeny! I have one one my back that’s starting to resemble a dark castle!

[stevejm]

I removed mine in just one night by applying iodine and castor oil and covering with a bandaid

[mswright]

Would loved to have seen the final results ‼️😳

Hilarious and informative. I was hooked when I saw the doctor writing "Whacko" on his notepad. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if the skin cell buildup can be due to not exfoliating the back when showering. It’s probably a forgotten area most of the time. Time to get a loofah back scrubber with handles at each end.

I have also heard low Vit D can cause them. Older people stay indoors more and sleep more, so they don’t get Vit D from being outdoors even if they live in a sunny climate.

I have so many on my back because when young got sun poisoning twice. I never paid attention to them if I had and had them removed when they popped up it would have been fine. Now they got way ahead of me so I will live with them and never wear anything that shows my back. 😢

[karziflora]

At least you don't have them on your face. I've got a ton all over my upper body and neck and face. It's really ugly and makes me sad

How to get rid of it I went to the dermatologist cosmetic ! Wow what's the point in having insurance it sucks getting older but Dermatologist definitely want to take you to the bank

[susanlthomas]

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing. I had one of these at my hairline and got rid of it the same way - not happy to hear that I will likely get more. Ick!

[Hedgehogsinthemist]

Yours really aren't a problem. They are nothing. I have huge ones, lots of them all over my back. They're black. I've had them since I was in my 20s and have just got worse over time. They run in my dad's side. I'd love to get all mine removed.

[anonymousvapes]

I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. Dick! That’s Dr. Dick to you! Thank you for the laughs

Beautiful and vivacious woman. Been there and still doing that, but frustrating that a topical for these outbreaks hasn't been developed.
Not enough money in it I guess.
Or maybe a lot more money not to develop one!

Apple cider vinegar on gauze covered with a bandaid for 3-4 days works and it’s inexpensive.
