This study compares two ways to treat sun-damaged spots called actinic keratoses: freezing them (cryotherapy) or applying a chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil). The goal is to see which works better and is safer for people with many spots on their head, neck, arms, or legs.
This study tests if a moisturizing cream called Lipikar Baume AP+M can help with actinic keratoses (rough, scaly spots caused by sun damage) on the forearms or backs of the hands. You'll use the cream on one arm and compare it to the other arm to see if it makes a difference.
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
This study tests if a laser treatment on your forearms can prevent precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) from developing in older adults with fair skin. You would receive the laser on one arm and a sham treatment on the other, and your skin will be monitored.
This trial compares two different creams used before a light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) for actinic keratoses on the scalp. It aims to see which pre-treatment works better to clear these rough, scaly spots.
This trial tests if adding calcipotriol to a standard chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil) works better than the standard cream alone for treating actinic keratosis (precancerous sun-damaged skin spots). You may qualify if you have at least four spots on your face, scalp, neck, chest, or arms.
