Skin Care: Actinic Keratosis

Actinic keratosis, also known as solar keratosis, is a skin condition caused by excessive and prolonged exposure to sunlight. It manifests itself as small, rough, dry and scaly lesions, usually on areas of the body most exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck and hands. Although actinic keratosis is considered a benign lesion, it can develop into a type of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, if not specifically treated.
This article will explore its causes and how to prevent this condition by taking care of your skin's health effectively.
Causes

The main cause of actinic keratosis is prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, which damage skin cells over time. Other factors that may contribute to the development of this condition includes:

  • People over 40 are more likely to develop actinic keratosis;
  • History of frequent or severe sunburn are at greater risk of developing this condition;
  • Light and sensitive skin;
  • Weakened immune system;
  • Living in sunny regions with high rates of UV radiation.
    How to prevent

    Preventing actinic keratosis is essential to prevent the appearance of new lesions and progression to skin cancer. The main preventive measures involve protecting the skin against damage caused by sun exposure and taking care of skin health. Here are some effective tips to prevent actinic keratosis:

    • Sun Protection: Use sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure;
    • Check your skin regularly;

    • Use of Antioxidant products;
    • Avoid prolonged sun exposure on sensitive skin;
    • Adopt a healthy lifestyle;
    • Visit the Dermatologist regularly.

    Prevention is the key to maintaining your skin's health and avoiding serious complications. With these precautions, it is possible to minimize risks and keep your skin healthy and protected against actinic keratosis.
