Sun-Induced Keratotic Skin Changes treatment in Puebla

Sun-induced keratotic skin changes are alterations of the surface layer of the skin that appear after prolonged exposure to solar radiation over the years, giving rise to rough or thickened areas.

How they usually look: they present as spots or plaques with a rough, sometimes scaly texture, in areas highly exposed to the sun such as the face, ears, scalp, or the backs of the hands.

Associated factors: the main one is the accumulation of sun damage, so fair skin and unprotected exposure increase the likelihood that they will arise.

Professional evaluation: reviewing these lesions falls to the dermatologist, and to the pediatric dermatologist in minors. Since the sun has such an influence, monitoring the skin and consulting at any change is a good habit.
