Actinic Keratosis Removal
Skin problems such as keratosis are the most common problem faced by people all over the world. Every person is suffering from skin diseases that are present in different forms. People look for the treatment, but they do not understand the thing that is the main cause of skin problems. The main cause of skin problems is sun. Sun is the source of heat generation in the world, but along with heat, UV rays also reach us. These UV rays are the main cause of skin problems and they are extremely dangerous for the skin. Allah has created Ozone layer to protect the humanity from these rays; ozone layer filters these rays from all the rays coming from the skin. But some rays reach the earth because the capacity of the ozone layer reduces to avoid these rays from reaching the earth. This capacity is reduced because of the exposure of dangerous gases into the air.
One of these skin problems is actinic Keratosis. Such type of skin condition is due to dry patches that appear on the skin, when skin exposes to the sun rays. Such patches are similar in outlook to lesions, although both of them are different from one another. Patches that appear on the skin is a continual process and if it develops once, it continues to develop for years because no one cares of exposing himself to the sun rays. The color of all the spots that appear on the skin is same, but their sizes very. The size of the smallest spot is equal to the size of the lead of the pencil while the biggest spot is equal to the size of quarter. These spots are usually round or oval in shape, but sometimes they form a horn like structure. Such horn like actinic Keratosis is called cutaneous horns.
Actinic Keratosis is extremely dangerous because they can gradually progress and becomes a skin cancer. Such types of skin cancer are formed when the patient may not be able to find the spot change. Squamous carcinoma is the type of skin cancer usually caused by actinic Keratosis. Patient must go the doctor and visit him if he finds any spot of actinic Keratosis on his skin because this gives a chance for melanoma to develop. Melanoma is extremely dangerous skin cancer because it has the ability to spread in all organs. The name actinic Keratosis describes itself its name in which actinic describes the part of the skin in which chemical reactions take place as the result of over exposure to the skin.

Sunrays have different types of rays including ultraviolet rays that are extremely dangerous for skin. Although Allah has helped man by creating the ozone layer to protect the humans from these damaging rays, but excessive pollution in the atmosphere has reduced its protective abilities. Ultraviolet sunrays are the main cause of keratosis. The eyes and the skin of patients with keratosis are usually pale or light color. Keratosis cells produce other cells called keratin. When keratin increases, spots start appearing on the skin. These spots that appear on the skin can be dangerous for the patient. Although some of them are not dangerous to the health of the patient, they may grow in excess. The spots that are dangerous for the health of patients is called malignant, while the ones that are not dangerous and do not grow in excess are called benign.

These spots grow on the skins of people whose range increases and these spots are sometimes called barnacles of people of old age.
The colors of these spots vary from light pink to black color. Their shape is oval or slightly elevated and size is more than 2.5 cm.

Senile keratosis are growths that looks like mole appearing on the face, back and hands of people who are thirty to fifty years of age and above. It is common with people who have fair and paled skin. The growths are not painful and they have no correlation in any way with cancer. It usually occurs when the skin is exposed to too much sunlight. Senile keratosis is a form of actinic keratosis.
The symptom of keratosis is the appearance of little bumps growing out of the surface of the skin. The numbers of the bumps varies in size, usually from about 1mm to 3mm and larger. They are rough in texture and they can itch or sting. The coloration on the skin is red. People affected with senile keratosis should consult their doctors for proper medication, especially if the keratosis is painful, infected or growing in size that is beyond measure.
Senile keratosis is diagnosed by examining the skin condition. Doctors normally use intense light and magnifying lens to search for swelling or lump on the areas affected. If it is on the hair, the scalp is checked by splitting the hair to look for lesions or lump. After carrying out the examinations, a sample of the skin can now be taken for biopsy for further test. Senile keratosis can be treated by using four methods: liquid nitrogen, curettage and electrosuggery, medications and photodynamic therapy.
The first method for treating senile keratosis is by using liquid nitrogen. The skin is frozen with liquid nitrogen to terminate the growth. This process can set off pain that can be mild, but last up to about three good days. It heals in about 7 to 14 days. There is no scar noticed except in people with dark skin where the affected areas may appear light.
The second method involves the use of curettage and electrosurgey. Local anesthetic is applied on the affected spot to numb the skin. The lump is peeled off by the aid of the curette. After that, electrosurgery is now applied to reduce bleeding and wipe out any abnormal cells left over.
Medications can also be prescribed by doctors. Creams like fluorouracil, diclofenac etc can be applied to reduce and remove the effect of the growth.
The last method for treating senile keratosis is the use of photodynamic therapy. This involves using light together with medicine applied on the surface of the skin. The light aids the medicine to wipe out the senile keratosis.
For best treatment results, people suffering from senile keratosis should go for early treatment as soon as the symptoms start manifesting.
