Actinic Keratoses (AKs)
A skin disease also known as solar keratoses. These lesions are the result of years of unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Although you may have been extra careful about sun protection in the recent past, if you spend time in the sun when you were younger, you have put yourself at risk for developing AKs. Many adults have AKs, so rest assured that you are not alone.

AKs actually represent the earliest stages of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Since the 1960s the incidence of the SCC has been increasing 4%-8% per year. SCC affects about 100,000 Americans each year and 2,000 to 2,500 Americans die each year due to SCC of the skin.

Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma (sBCC)
sBCC is among the most common types of skin cancer, that traditionally does NOT spread to other parts of the body. sBCC has become more common in younger patients, probably due to increased sun exposure.3 The lifetime risk of developing some type of nonmelanoma skin cancer is 33%-39%.4 sBCC is another condition that is commonly treated with EFUDEX® 5% Solution or Cream when conventional methods such as surgery are impractical.
