Noticing dry, scaly spots on places like your face, scalp, arms, and hands? They could be minimally to moderately thick AKs, which are typically caused by long-term sun exposure. Up to 58 million Americans have at least one AK sunspot. AKs may become cancerous if left untreated, which is why it’s important to talk to a dermatologist about treatment.
