Why do I still have dark spots after cryotherapy for seborrheic keratosis removal?

April 29, 2018
Asked By:ldinges in Denver, CO

Dr. treated several SK’s via cryotherapy on my neck, some treated twice. Now a month later there are still brown spots, some pin-head sized and some larger. Doctor said they will fade with time. Is that true and if so, how much time? Can I do something else to even out the skin tone? Thank you for your advice.
