Actinic Keratosis (Solar Keratosis)
Actinic Keratosis (Solar Keratosis)
The small, scaly patches caused by too much sun exposure commonly occur on the head, neck, or hands, but can be found elsewhere. They're the early beginnings of skin cancer. Actinic keratosis usually appears on people after age 40, but they can show up in much younger people. Fair-skinned, blond, or red-haired people with blue or green eyes are most at risk. Early treatment is advised to stop progression to squamous cell skin cancer
