Abstract

Solar keratosis is a frequently occurring epithelial dysplasia where atypical keratinocytes proliferate. It is located in places often exposed to UV radiation, more often in people of phototype I and II.

Solar keratosis can develop into squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment is surgical, physical and topical.

Ingenol-mebutate gel therapy is new topical treatment now.
