Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous growths with the potential to transform into squamous cell skin cancers. They arise within skin that has been exposed to prolonged UV radiation without protection making people who have worked and played outdoors more vulnerable. Patients who are immunosuppressed are also at a higher risk of developing AKs. Regular surveillance of the skin in these patients with timely treatment of AKs along with proper UV protection are very important. Treatment modalities include cryotherapy, topical medications, photodynamic therapy, and surgical removal.
