Actinic Keratosis treatment in Chihuahua

Solar actinic keratosis is a skin lesion that appears after years of accumulated sun exposure, made up of rough or scaly areas in areas that receive a lot of light, such as the face, the ears, the scalp, and the back of the hands.

Common causes: prolonged damage from ultraviolet radiation, which is why it is more common in fair-skinned people and in those who have spent a lot of time outdoors over the course of their life.

Why pay attention to it? It is considered a lesion that is worth monitoring and discussing with a professional, since over time some may change in appearance.

Who evaluates it? The dermatologist is the professional indicated to review these lesions and provide follow-up. If you notice rough patches that do not disappear in areas very exposed to the sun, it is worth showing them to a specialist for an appropriate review.
