Prevention of Actinic Keratosis
Prevention techniques are what people have been told since childhood about staying safe in the sun – even if you didn’t realise than actinic keratosis might await you after all those years.

If its impossible to stay out of the sun then try some of these things:
Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 20

Wear a broad-brimmed hat for protecting the neck and some of the shoulders, as well as the head and face

Try to stay out of the sun from 10am to 4pm

Wear clothing with long sleeves and high necks when in the sun. The tight weave of the cloth prevents the sun from reaching the skin

Don’t use tanning beds

Do a self-examination every day

See a doctor if anything looks not quite right
