Have your sunspots been diagnosed as actinic keratosis? Yes

View in browser

Hello [Name],

If you've spent a lot of time in the sun, you may have actinic keratoses (AKs), commonly known as sunspots. These may appear as dry or scaly patches on your face, arms, ears, or scalp.

AKs are chronic and require ongoing maintenance, making early detection crucial for your skin health. If left untreated, 1 in 10 AKs can progress into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

For this reason, it's important to regularly monitor your skin for any changes and consult a dermatologist if you notice anything unusual.

AKs can be very difficult to spot.

That's why we created a tool to help you learn about AKs in order to spot them early. Take our quiz and speak with a dermatologist if you notice any AKs on your skin.

Do you know someone who may have AK sunspots?

Tougher than the sun?

Make sure to protect your skin at all times of the day, but know there is a greater risk when UV rays are the strongest around 10 AM to 4 PM.
