What Causes Actinic Keratosis?

A precursor to skin cancer, actinic keratoses can be caused by overexposure to UV rays and, in many cases, they can be an early indicator of possible skin cancer. For this reason, it’s important to get any scaly patch checked out right away. Seeking actinic keratosis treatments early can help prevent complications and improve skin health.
