What are Skin Barnacles?
People who suffer from skin barnacles know how embarrassing and bothersome these skin irritations can be. What exactly are skin barnacles and how does a person get them? Here are few general facts on what this skin problem really is: • Skin barnacles are sometimes referred to as barnacles of aging and are often seen on people who are 50 years old or older. • While not all skin barnacles develop into seborrheic keratoses, which are benign skin growth. Most of the time, these age induced barnacles indeed develop into this noncancerous benign skin problem. • These growths are relatively harmless and are actually more annoying in an aesthetic sense than in a health related sense.
