Actinic keratoses – a guide for primary care workers
BJDN, Volume 6, Number 2.

Actinic or solar keratoses are extremely common on the skin of older, white-skinned individuals and will frequently be seen incidentally in a primary care setting. A patient with actinic keratosis (AK) may be attending the surgery or receiving home visits from the practice nurse for quite a different problem – such as blood pressure measurement or leg-ulcer dressings – and the lesions will therefore be noticed by chance at a time when the patient may not even be aware of them.
