Actinic Keratosis , also known as solar keratosis, is a scaly or crusty lesion on the skin that develops slowly and indicates the presence of sun damage. It is most commonly found on parts of the body frequently exposed to the sun including the bald scalp, face, ears, lips, backs of the hands or forearms, neck, and shoulders.
Actinic keratosis improves just two days after a freezing removal treatment. Actinic keratoses are considered precancerous and can develop into a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.
In fact, some 40 to 60 percent of squamous cell skin cancers begin as untreated actinic keratoses. Because of this, your doctor should be diligent in diagnosing, treating and monitoring actinic keratosis. Annual Skin Examinations are yearly scheduled skin exams with a dermatologist. Did you know that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U. In fact, it is estimated that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Just as you schedule your annual physical or trip to the dentist, it is important to conduct a self-examination of your skin each month and schedule a professional annual skin examination once a year.
