Actinic Keratoses is a premalignant condition of thick, scaly, or crusty patches of skin and is more common in fair-skinned people, especially those who are frequently exposed to the sun. It is usually accompanied by solar-damage and since some of these pre-cancers progress to squamous cell carcinoma, they should be treated.
When skin is constantly exposed to the sun, thick, scaly, or crusty bumps appear. The scaly or crusty part of the bump is usually very dry and rough. The growths start out as flat scaly area. Later, they grow into a tough wart-like area.
Actinic Keratoses sites commonly ranges between 2 and 6 millimeters in size, and can be dark or light, tan, pink, red, a combination of all these, or have the same pigment as the surrounding skin. It can appear on any sun-exposed area, such as the face, ears, neck, chest, backs of hands, forearms, or lips.

The patient is awake during the entire procedure and discomfort is usually minimal and no greater than it would be for more routine skin cancer surgeries.
