My 30-Plus-Years Observation with AK’s
I’m brand new to this group and I am 74 years old. My sun damage was inflicted on me as a kid in the Midwest that had almost 300 days of sunshine a year. No thought then given to sun exposure or SPF creams.
Efudex is the best treatment for me so far
I’ve tried cryotherapy, imiquimod, blue light, and Efudex. Though a royal pain in the butt to use, the latter is the most effective and has the longest lasting results.
Happy to know I’m not alone with actinic keratoses
My dermatologists over the years have told me that actinic keratoses (AKs) never go away completely but can be kept in check. At least my experience has been not to get my hopes up that this is a cure, but it’s as close to it as I’ve found. Just my initial comments, joining the group today.
It’s nice to have reinforcement.
