Abstract
Mr KC, 61 years of age, has extensive actinic damage including squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and actinic keratoses (AKs) on his face and forehead. He has had cryotherapy for many years with limited success. Lesions have generally resolved with cryotherapy but he finds the treatment very uncomfortable and can only tolerate a small number of lesions being treated on each visit. He develops lesions faster than lesions are treated.
