Actinic Keratosis, also known as a Solar Keratosis, is a crusty, scaly growth caused by damage from exposure to sun light. AK is seen as pre-cancerous, as it can develop into skin cancer when left alone - most commonly into squamous cell carcinoma. AK is sometimes so small that you can hardly see it - but they feel as if you were running a finger over sandpaper.
