Actinic keratosis, also called solar or senile keratosis, is a precancerous skin condition that develops in sun-exposed skin, especially on the face, hands, forearms, and the neck. It is seen most often in pale-skinned, fair-haired, light-eyed people, beginning at age 30 or 40 and becoming more common with age.
If you have actinic keratosis, you may have an increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma. There is no way to determine whether actinic keratosis will progress to squamous cell carcinoma or how fast this might occur. Keratoses on the ear and lip are at the highest risk of developing into cancer because of the sensitivity of the ear and lip to sun exposure.
treat pre-cancerous spots known to dermatologists as actinic keratosis. These areas are treated so they do not progress to become invasive skin cancers. This is also used to treat very thin or superficial skin cancers. During the treatment, a solution called Ameluz will be placed on your skin. This solution is absorbed by the sun damaged areas of your skin. Then, a bright red light is used to activate this solution, thereby killing the sun damaged cells. After your skin heals, the sun damaged cells are replaced with new, healthy skin cells. The total in-office time required for your treatment will be a few hours.
