Actinic keratosis (also called solar keratosis and senile keratosis) is a premalignant condition of thick scaly or crusty patches of skin. It is more common in fair-skinned people and it is associated with those who are frequently exposed to the sun as it is usually accompanied by solar damage. They are considered as potentially pre-cancerous since some of them progress to squamous cell carcinoma so treatment is recommended.
