skin, <b>caused by over-exposure to UV light<\/b> from the sun or tanning beds. Commonly found on the hands, forearms, face, and scalp, groups of these AKs often start as small, sandpaper-like patches of skin. They can range in color (skin-colored to red-brown) and can grow in size, from almost undetectable to larger than a quarter.<\/p><p><b>Actinic keratoses are considered to be pre-cancerous spots<\/b> that, left undetected or untreated, can lead to skin cancer. Having a dermatology provider examine any worrisome dry or scaly patches of skin will help identify any AKs early on.
