My derm used a Iridex Diolite 532 to remove a wart-like seborrheic keratosis, size of a pencil top from my cheek. After 3 months only the middle part is completely gone. The top and bottom part (kind of like the inner perimeter of what was the keratosis) is still slightly raised and has faded from a dark brown to a light pink. Will pink color go away with the 4% hydroquinone and .05% retin-a that I’ve been using? How do I get the area flat —another laser treatment or microdermabrasion?
There are many different treatments available for Seborrheic Keratoses including lasers. curettage (scraping), and freezing. Microdermabrasion is not generally used for this condition. Its hard to determine whether your lesion is completely gone but if the only issue is some mild to moderate pinkness left to the skin then this should fade without treatment over a period of 1-3 months. If there is some of the keratosis is still present then you might need a touch up with one of the above mentioned treatments.
