Actinic Keratosis
Actinic keratosis is a rough, scaly skin lesion that appears in areas exposed to the sun over the years, such as the face, ears, scalp, and backs of the hands. It is considered a lesion worth monitoring because of its link to accumulated sun damage.
How it appears: Small rough patches, reddish or skin-colored, that are sometimes felt more than they are seen to the touch.
Factors that contribute to it: Prolonged sun exposure, fair skin, and a history of sunburns.
Which specialist evaluates it? The dermatologist is the one who examines actinic keratosis and determines the most appropriate follow-up. If you notice persistent rough spots on sun-exposed skin, it is worth showing them during a visit for a careful review.
