So it's a slightly darker thickening of the skin that can be as big as a few millimeters to a centimeter; the skin is slightly desquamating, so small pieces are detached; the color is light brown to dark brown and in some cases, when the actinic keratosis is more advanced, it can also create fissures, small splits inside this stain. Actinic keratosis must be eliminated in order to eliminate the problem in this way. How to remove actinic keratosis?
