Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is an extremely common benign cutaneous lesion that often appears on individuals older than the age of 50. SK lesions can appear in numerous clinical variations, but typically, SKs present with a well-demarcated, “stuck-on” appearance having a waxy or keratotic surface. Even though SK lesions are usually benign, many individuals elect for SK treatment or removal due to cosmetic concerns. One study regarding SK appearance reported that 61% of women tried to conceal the appearance of the SKs by using certain hairstyles, make-up, and clothes. Conventional treatment for SK lesions ranges from cryosurgery to curettage. Although these removal methods are effective for SK treatment, each method contains a potential for side effects such as pigmentation changes, scarring, and discomfort before and after the procedure. Due to many of these concerns, patients prefer topical treatments for SKs, which has led to a new emerging topical containing hydrogen peroxide topical solution 40% (HP40; Eskata™). Here, we report the methods and results from an HP40 treatment for two individuals, each over 70 years old. Application of the topical solution was performed on each target SK, up to four times, with a 20-second application and 1 minute between applications. The two participants reported moderate success of HP40 in the removal of their SKs with minimal adverse effects. J Drugs Dermatol. 2019;18(7 Suppl):s178-182.
