Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly patches on sun-exposed skin caused by long-term sun damage. They are considered precancerous because a small number can develop into skin cancer. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, a dermatologist confirms the diagnosis and treats them with cryotherapy, creams or other options.
