Are You Using These Treatments for Your Patients With Actinic Keratoses?

ARUBA – Patients with actinic keratoses are a fixture in most dermatology practices, but is your practice up to date on the full range of treatments available?

At the Caribbean Dermatology Symposium, Dr. David Pariser presented a quick run-down of current, new, and up-and-coming treatments for AKs, including, but not limited to, cryosurgery and imiquimod.

Also, he discusses his experience with field therapy to treat AKs.

"The damage that occurred that caused the actinic keratosis in one specific spot has also occurred in adjacent areas," that can’t be detected visually, he said.

Dr. Pariser is a professor of clinical dermatology at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, and a physician in a private group practice in Virginia.
