I have a bunch of "flat warts" on the inside of my wrist. Which have just returned for a second time sad
I bought some Bazuka cream in Asda pharmacy and have just gone to apply it. I'm going to have to return it.
It was very remiss of the assistant not to ask me if I'm diabetic. It must not be used by diabetics !!

I would take these skin lesions to the GP for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

When I had them last time Teetime I didn't know what they were. When visiting my GP for another matter he noticed them and aske me what they were. When I said "you tell me" he just shrugged shocksmile

What do they look like? I have flat brown grainy spots of varying sizes on different areas. I believe they are harmless and age related. I just put up with them.

Just looked them up, sebboraic keratoses. Interesting!

I too have "age spots" hilda
These are a cluster of 40 or so small flat raised crusty lesions which almost merge into one covering about 3"x2" I'm convinced they are warts as I had them in the same place (inside wrist) about 12-18 mths ago. I'd had them about 12 mths when they spontaneously disappear over night. They reappear about a week ago.
I would ignore them if they didn't itch so flipping much.
