I just had four keratosis "freezed" on my face, they were suppose to blister and go away, all spots are very red and itchy, I was told by my dr. this would go away very soon.

I was diagnosed with Actinic Keratosis and the dermatologist immediately applied Liquid Nitrogen to the affected areas that I was concerned about. After reading on this site that it is wise to be checked annually to ensure there are no new spots, I find it funny that the doctor did not check herself.

My doctor has burned off several keratosis, but they are all over my arms and legs. I so resent my love affair with the sun. If I could do it all over I would have worn sunscreen all of the time.

I was prescribed an ointment called Fatty Ointment it affected the area around the spot making my face very red, after weeks of using this cream there was no effect on the itching.
