Precancerous Lesion Treatment in Beverly Hills
Precancerous skin lesions, most commonly actinic keratoses, represent areas of abnormal cell growth caused by chronic sun exposure. While not yet cancerous, these lesions carry a meaningful risk of progressing to squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists diagnose and treat precancerous lesions with the thoroughness and expertise that Beverly Hills patients expect.
What Are Actinic Keratoses?
Actinic keratoses typically appear as rough, scaly, or crusty patches on sun-exposed skin, including the face, ears, scalp, and hands. They may be pink, red, or skin-colored, and can be flat or slightly raised. Many patients first notice them as areas that feel rough to the touch before they become visually apparent.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the number, size, and location of lesions, as well as patient factors. Options include:
- Cryotherapy: targeted liquid nitrogen application to freeze and destroy individual lesions
- Topical prescription medications such as fluorouracil (5-FU) or imiquimod for field treatment of multiple lesions
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT): a light-activated treatment effective for widespread sun damage and multiple lesions
- Laser resurfacing for patients with extensive photodamage
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient with a history of significant sun exposure, particularly those with fair skin, should have regular skin examinations to screen for precancerous changes. If you have noticed rough or unusual spots on your skin, schedule an evaluation at our Beverly Hills practice promptly.
