okay, i have tried this...i have a mole on my forehead that wont go away, i wanted to know this. i want it gone so bad. so i tried it on a mole on my hip ...so the whole world wont see it if i screw up... and it sort of worked... but the mole on my hip was super small. it was a dark brown mole and it turned light brown and bright red for what seemed like forever. its gone, but i have raw looking skin on my hip and have had it look that way for some months now... im too scared to try my face.
Yes! I have had great success with Dr. Scholls Freeze Away for SK's. Follow the directions on the package carefully - of course, it is better to let your dermotologist freeze them off, especially in hard to reach areas, but this is good to have on hand when you just have a few that you want removed from an easy location.
I would not recommend doing this at home, medical advise should be considered before actions are taken with skin issues.
Several dermatologic procedures are effective for actinic keratosis treatment. Your doctor will recommend a procedure that is best suited to the location of the actinic keratoses and other variables. These procedures may be combined with other actinic keratosis treatments or medications.
- Cryosurgery uses liquid nitrogen to freeze off the lesions. It is fast, has a high cure rate, and is well-tolerated by most people. There may be a very brief period of stinging when the liquid nitrogen is first applied, but anesthesia is not required.
- Shave removal is a procedure during which a scalpel is used to remove the lesion and obtain a specimen for testing.
- Curettage is often used to remove hard, thickened actinic keratoses. In this procedure, a small, round, sharp instrument (called a curette) is used to scrape the actinic keratosis, either removing a piece of it for biopsy or removing the entire lesion.
- Lasers deliver an intense light focused on the lesion, removing it along with the top layer of skin. The finely controlled nature of laser removal makes this a useful option for actinic keratoses on delicate skin, such as the lips (actinic chelitis), or in narrow, hard-to-reach places (such as behind the ears).
Additional treatment options include chemical peels and photodynamic therapy (PDT).

How can you cure keratoses?
Although there is no cure for actinic keratosis per say, there are a couple treatment options that can effectively minimize the symptoms:Cryosurgery - uses liquid nitrogen to freeze off the lesions. It is fast, has a high cure rate, and is well-tolerated by most people. There may be a very high brief period of stinging when the liquid nitrogen is first applied, but anesthesia is not required.Shave removal - a procedure during which a scalpel is used to remove the lesion and obtain a specimen for testing.Curettage - often used to remove hard, thickened actinic keratoses. In this procedure, a small, round, sharp instrument (called a curette) is used to scrape the actinic keratosis, either removing a piece of it for biopsy or removing the entire lesion.Lasers - deliver an intense light focused on the lesion, removing it along with the top layer of skin. The finely controlled nature of laser removal makes this a useful option for actinic keratoses on delicate skin, such as the lips (actinic chelitis), or in narrow, hard-to-reach places (such as behind the ears).Photodynamic therapy - involves an agent applied to the skin that makes the skin sensitive to light (usually applied by injection or topically). An intense light is then point in the area and the laser light destroys the damaged skin cells.Retinoids - is an oral drug (isotretinoin) is very effective in treating actinic keratosis. However it is only recommended in high risk cases because it has significantly high risk side effects.Creams and Ointments - destroy actinic keratosis cells by blocking essential reactions within them. Creams can be used as an actinic keratosis natural therapy for they support the skin's immune system and stimulate the body's own natural rejection of these precancerous cells.
Can duct tape remove seborrheic keratoses?
One can remove seborrheic keratoses by the use of hydrogen peroxide and duct tape. Dilute the hydrogen peroxide to 25% concentration and apply to the affected areas of the skin with a cotton cloth. Cover the area with duct tape quickly to ensure the hydrogen peroxide does not evaporate.
