Freezing plus tirbanibulin ointment for scaly spots on scalp or forehead
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether freezing the spots (cryotherapy) followed by a medicated ointment (tirbanibulin) works better than freezing alone for actinic keratoses on the scalp and forehead. It may help you if you have many of these rough spots and want to see if the combination treatment works better.

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 trial tests whether applying a 30% urea cream (Lipikar) before Tolak® treatment helps treat actinic keratoses (rough, scaly spots) on the scalp. It may make the skin more receptive to the treatment.
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.
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 combination of the chemotherapy cream 5-fluorouracil and an aluminum solution works well to treat actinic keratoses (precancerous sun-damaged spots) on the scalp or forearms. It may help if you have 4–15 of these spots and are generally healthy.
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.
