It may be worth contacting a good local beauty therapist in your area - I know some of them are trained to remove things like that. My beautician is trained in the removal of those kind of skin conditions - skin tags, keratosis and so on - and the results are very good. But do check their qualifications first - as well as the cost, as I believe it can vary quite considerably.

I think you can still have them treated if you are prepared to pay.
There are quite a few things that are not treated by the NHS any longer.

The Mark 1 variety being the spots many of us get as teenagers. But later life also holds its own skin blemish problem - in that blemishes of a rather different description crop up and we can't rely on them being only temporary and thus have to do something about them. So seborrhoic keratoses and sunspots are things that have cropped up in latter years. The SK started in my 30's I think and the tendency to them is getting steadily worse with the passing years. In more recent years that's been joined by age spots as well.

What ways have others found to deal with them - especially given doctors used to freeze off SK's for people, but have been refusing to do that for years now?
