rash of growths on neck

I have what feels like crops of warts in patches on my neck, the fold of my neck area and worst of all, on my throat. They itch sometimes and they feel horrible to the touch. I suspect tag warts though I cannot see them in the mirror. How can I get rid of them as they feel awful, I told my doctor some time back when the first batch appeared and he said he couldn't see anything, but they are definitely there.
I need something safe especially on my throat, to remove them as they seem to be spreading everywhere and they make me feel so unclean.

Thanks.

Re: rash of growths on neck

You may have dermatosis papulosa nigra. These are tiny harmless growths that can appear with age. They are a variant of seborrhoea keratosis (also known as old age warts). Liquid nitrogen treatment can be effective but may leave scars.
