Skin Barnacles After 60? This Gel Removes Them — The Clinical Evidence Will Surprise You | Dr. Li

Seborrheic keratoses are common benign skin growths that may look like brown, rough, raised, or "stuck-on" spots. But can a gel really clear them? In this video, Dr. William Li examines the real evidence behind topical gels and seborrheic keratosis treatment, including why some products may soften or reduce selected lesions, why results are not guaranteed, and how these growths differ from actinic keratoses, age spots, moles, and potentially suspicious skin lesions. You will learn: What seborrheic keratosis looks like at the cellular level Why diagnosis should always come before removal What is known about topical diclofenac and other prescription gels Why evidence from actinic keratosis studies cannot automatically be applied to seborrheic keratosis The dangers of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, essential oils, scraping, and cutting at home When cryotherapy, curettage, electrosurgery, laser, or observation may be the right choice Warning signs that require immediate professional evaluation Dr. Li's exact seven-step protocol for discussing treatment with a dermatologist A gel may help selected lesions under supervision, but it is not a guaranteed cure and should never be applied to a changing or suspicious growth without medical evaluation.
