Christine Brown, M.D. has published information about actinic keratoses to her own website. Actinic Keratosess are considered precancerous because they have the potential to become a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Fortunately, actinic keratoses are treatable when detected in the early stages.
Dr. Brown reviews treatment options, including cryosurgery, laser and photodynamic therapy as well as prescription medications, such as imiquimod.
Zyclara is an effective topical treatment for actinic keratoses available by prescription only. If a skin exam reveals actinic keratoses the dermatologist may prescribe Zyclara. Zyclara works from within by activating your body's own immune system to treat disease. Zyclara not only helps clear visible actinic keratoses, but also treats undeveloped actinic keratoses that are not yet visible. These previously unseen actinic keratoses may appear during treatment and may clear before they have a chance to develop further.
