Actinic keratoses are areas of sun-damaged skin. They usually occur on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun. This includes the forearms, back of the hands, face, ears, and any scalp areas without hair (e.g., as a result of balding). They may also occur on the lips.
The terms actinic and solar are from Greek and Latin respectively, meaning ‘caused by sunlight’. The term keratosis refers to thickened skin.
