Normal skin cells replace the damaged ones and heal the area naturally. Cryosurgery is commonly used for many benign (non-cancerous) growths (such as seborrheic keratosis, verruca vulgaris, verrucous keratosis and lentigines) and pre-cancerous growths (actinic keratosis).
Verrucous papules are bumpy warts that appear on the skin due to infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The photo depicts verrucous papules around the fingernails of a child affected by the condition.

A seborrheic keratosis (seb-o-REE-ik ker-uh-TOE-sis) is a common noncancerous (benign) skin growth. People tend to get more of them as they get older. Seborrheic keratoses are usually brown, black or light tan. The growths (lesions) look waxy or scaly and slightly raised.Jan 18, 2022
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) is a condition of many small, benign skin lesions on the face, a condition generally presenting on dark-skinned individuals.:638–9 DPN is extremely common, affecting up to 30% of Black people in the US. From a histological perspective, DPN resembles seborrheic keratoses.

The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
KERATOSIS SEBORRHEIC-. benign eccrine poromas that present as multiple oval brown to black plaques located mostly on the chest and back. the age of onset is usually in the fourth or fifth decade.
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.
Asymmetry – one half of the mole or lesion does not match the other; Border – the edges of a mole or lesion are irregular, ragged, blurred; Color – the color is not the same all over and may include shades of brown or black or sometimes have patches of pink, red, white or blue;
Background. A skin lesion is a nonspecific term that refers to any change in the skin surface; it may be benign, malignant or premalignant. Skin lesions may have color (pigment), be raised, flat, large, small, fluid filled or exhibit other characteristics.
Common examples of benign skin lesions may include moles (nevi), sebaceous cysts, seborrheic keratoses, skin tags (acrochordon), callouses, corns or warts. The treatment of benign skin lesions consists of destruction or removal by any of a wide variety of techniques. The removal of a skin lesion can range from a simple biopsy, ...
The removal of a skin lesion can range from a simple biopsy, scraping or shaving of the lesion, to a radical excision that may heal on its own, be closed with sutures (stitches) or require reconstructive techniques involving skin grafts or flaps. Laser, cautery or liquid nitrogen may also be used to remove benign skin lesions.
Ovejero and colleagues (2016) stated that cutaneous skeletal hypophosphatemia syndrome (CSHS), caused by somatic RAS mutations, features excess fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) and skeletal dysplasia. In this study, records from 56 individuals were reviewed and demonstrated fractures, scoliosis, and non-congenital hypophosphatemia that in some cases were resolved. Phosphate and calcitriol, but not skin lesion removal, were effective at controlling hypophosphatemia. No skeletal malignancies were found; 5 CSHS subjects underwent prospective data collection at clinical research centers. A review of the literature identified 45 reports that included a total of 51 additional patients, in whom the findings were compatible with CSHS. Data on nevi subtypes, bone histology, mineral and skeletal disorders, abnormalities in other tissues, and response to treatment of hypophosphatemia were analyzed. Fractures, limb deformities, and scoliosis affected most CSHS subjects. Hypophosphatemia was not present at birth. Histology revealed severe osteomalacia but no other abnormalities. Skeletal dysplasia was reported in all anatomical compartments, though less frequently in the spine; there was no clear correlation between the location of nevi and the skeletal lesions. Phosphate and calcitriol supplementation was the most effective therapy for rickets. Convincing data that nevi removal improved blood phosphate levels was lacking. An age-dependent improvement in mineral abnormalities was observed. A spectrum of extra-osseous/extra-cutaneous manifestations that included both benign and malignant neoplasms was present in many subjects, though osteosarcoma remains un-reported.
Aetna considers removal of acquired or small (less than 1.5 cm) congenital nevi (moles), cutaneous and subcutaneous neurofibromas, dermatofibromas, acrochordon (skin tags), pilomatrixomata (slow-growing hard mass underneath the skin that arises from hair follicle matrix cells), sebaceous cysts (pilar and epidermoid cysts), seborrheic keratoses (also known as basal cell papillomas, senile warts or brown warts), or other benign skin lesions, or needle hyfrecation for sebaceous hyperplasia, medically necessary if any of the following criteria is met:
Seborrheic keratoses may be removed by cryosurgery, curettage, or electrosurgery. Acquired nevi (moles) can appear anywhere on the skin. They are usually brown in color, but can be skin colored or pink, light tan to brown, or blue-black. Moles may be flat or raised and can be various sizes and shapes.
