Can my Seborrheic keratosis cause me to fail my medical exam?

[allym23]

I have been sponsored by my mother to come to Canada and my medical exam is scheduled next week. My concern is I have Seborrheic Keratosis, a form of warts on my left leg. Can this cause me to fail my medical examination? I am afraid that my application could be refused because of this. Thanks in advance to those who will reply.

Unlikely you would be refused for it. It’s no contagious and there is no treatment to go with it ( other than having them removed which probably wouldn’t be covered by provincial healthcare).

It's not actually warts because it's not caused by a virus. Pretty uncommon in younger individuals so wondering if it is the correct diagnosis. They are actually often referred to as wisdom spots. Considered a cosmetic issue usually treated with liquid nitrogen.

Thank you very much your reply will help me be more confident in taking the medical exam. I hope my application will be approved in the future.

Thanks! I was afraid it would affect my application. but now that I have answers I’d probably be more confident that I might get approved.

If it is actually seborrheic keratosis you have nothing to worry about it unless you have other medical concerns.
