Actinic Keratoses (AKs) are rough-textured, dry, scaly patches on the skin caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. Often refered to as 'sun spots', AKs occur most frequently on sun exposed areas such as the face, scalp, ears, neck, hands and arms.
More than 5 million Americans have AK lesions with the majority occuring primarily in fair skinned individuals.
AKs are considered to be the first step in the development of skin cancer. They have the potential to progress to squamous cell carcinoma which is generally not life threating if detected and treated early.
