Is your skin OK or AK?
If you love the sun or
spend a lot of time outdoors you may be at increased risk of skin damage, which
can lead to actinic keratosis.
Actinic keratosis
(also known as AK or solar keratosis) are rough patches of skin that can lead to non-melanoma skin cancer if not recognised and treated early. Actinic keratosis is caused by exposure to the sun over time and mainly affects those over 40. Half of people over 45 say they
aren’t aware of actinic keratosis (AK).
