Actinic Keratosis

Actinic Keratoses (AK's)  are "pre-cancerous" skin lesions that usually occur on sun-exposed areas. If they are not treated, they can evolve into Squamous Cell Carcinoma skin cancers. Management includes simple in-office procedures, chemical peels, prescription creams or laser. Early detection and treatment of AK's is an effective way to prevent skin cancer.
