Actinic keratosis is a skin condition with rough and damaged spots on the skin caused by the sun. Treatment of actinic keratosis can cause a skin reaction. That is why it is important to properly care for and protect your skin after treatment.
Sun damage (actinic keratosis) can potentially be an early stage of skin cancer. Because of the risk of skin cancer, larger patches must be treated. This treatment first damages the skin before it recovers properly.

Taking heavy medication for years to control immune disorders and being exposed to the sun a lot as a child have done my skin no good at all. As a result, I have a lot of sunspots (actinic keratoses) and dry, scaly, itchy skin all over my body. ALHYDRAN really helps. ALHYDRAN is so easy to apply, my skin absorbs it very quickly and effectively, and it controls the itching and scaliness and makes my sunspots softer. Even on my face!
I started using ALHYDRAN after my dermatologist removed my age spots with an aggressive skin cream (actinic keratosis). My skin felt hot, red and painful. ALHYDRAN had a soothing effect and within just a few days my face was less red and painful. It applies well and it’s easy to use.
Actinic keratosis is damage to the skin due to sun exposure. This is usually caused by exposure to a lot of sunlight for years. It mainly occurs on parts of the body that are frequently or easily exposed to the sun, such as the head or hands.
Sun damage is often a small spot on the skin that is ‘keratinized’ and feels rough. Usually, several of these spots occur near each other. The colour varies from skin-coloured to red or brown.
Most people develop actinic keratosis later in life. But you can suffer sun damage at any age if the skin is exposed too much to the sun. This can happen, for example, if you exercise a lot in the sun or are often on the water in the sun.
Actinic keratosis is mainly found on skin that has received a lot of sunlight for years, such as:
Sunlight damage is benign, but it is a possible precursor to skin cancer. Because of this risk, it is usually treated.
The treatment is done, among other things, with:
Each of these treatments can cause quite severe skin reactions. The skin condition appears to worsen before recovery begins. Fiery redness, itching and dry skin are common complaints. Therefore, good aftercare of the skin is important. Sun protection is also crucial, because the skin is extra vulnerable to UV radiation after treatment.
ALHYDRAN provides good aftercare and protection of the skin.
