Exploring AK Treatment
Actinic keratosis, or AK, is a type of lesion, typically caused by sun exposure, which can develop into skin cancer if left untreated. If you believe that you have one or more AK lesions, see your dermatologist for care. Watch this video to learn about some of the treatment options.
