What Non-prescriptive Substance Might Be Recommended For Benign?

Thailand Dermatologist tested my actinic keratosis and declared it benign. He prescribed an expensive cream that was to be kept refrigerated. I left Thailand without it and wasn t able to give it a chance to prove effective. What non-prescriptive substance might be recommended?

Hi,

Actinic keratosis is a benign condition caused by long term sun exposure. It is hyperkeratotic skin disease with tendency to convert in malignancy. So, it should be treated. Apply fluorouracil cream on the lesions. Electrocautery under local anesthesia is other modality to treat the condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
