- Actinic Keratosis- also referred to as Solar Keratosis. This condition makes the skin look pale, rough and scaly especially due to prolonged sun exposure. Basically, when the skin soaks up sun through the years, the results are not pretty! Fortunately, like many other skin conditions, Actinic Keratosis is can be treated with cryosurgery, dermabrasionor electro surgery.
