Google actinic keratosis nose for the quickest examples but I’ve been dealing with this recurring for 4 plus years now. It’s just gotten worse and now seems serious

How did you get rid of yours? Most common cancer & highly treatable

Will rep srs

Actinic Keratosis is not skin cancer.

Who told you that its Actinic Keratosis on your face?

The treatment is a cream you put on that you get from your doctor. If that doesnt work then it gets removed surgically.

Appreciate the post but I didn’t ask what it was, and technically no it is not cancer but it’s mutated cells that progress to cancer, I’ve dealt with it long enough that it might as well be

I know how it can be removed but I’m wanting first hand experiences here from Misc.

This is self diagnosed because symptoms and visual match online. I’ve taken everything under the sun prior to this with zero results. I’m not dealing with acne. But derms are quick to dismiss a younger person “nah it’s not AK” and prescribe some BS script for inflammation or like benzoyl peroxide

It’s fukn frustrating to be an educated patient and waste time and money on dumbass prescriptions knowing they won’t help

5-fluorouricil is the treatment.

And if it is AK then see a doctor and get the proper treatment…because yes it can progress so you have to play it safe.

If a few doctors have seen it (especially dermatologists) and they say it isnt AK then perhaps it isnt indeed.

Post a pic here and the medical crew can see as well.

Yeh, I had basal cell carcinoma on forehead, dr cut that shiit off
