Pre- and post-treatment care for actinic keratoses: An Australian and New Zealand perspective
Many of the treatments for AKs have associated side effects that might affect skin barrier function. Post-treatment care is required to aid skin repair and to protect the skin. Patients should be instructed on how to care for the skin during the healing process using a gentle skin cleanser and a moisturiser. Routine sun protection measures all year round reduce recurrence and progression of AKs.
