Monitoring sequential treatment of actinic keratosis using post-processed images: Ingenol mebutate and cryosurgery

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are atypical proliferations of epithelial skin cells. The risk of progression from AK lesions to SCC is well documented.1 Ingenol Mebutate (IM), a derivative of the plant Euphorbia Peplus, has been used in AK treatment2 both for lesion-directed and field treatment. Cryosurgery is commonly used for lesion-directed treatment. Both treatments are associated with local skin reaction (LSR). This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
