Hi all. I have actinic keratoses on my face and body. I have been using regencorr cream for almost 4 weeks now. I have to switch to a 1 every other day regimen soon. But, before this, I have decided to take a break from the treatment for a week so that the redness can go away and I can see and understand how the treatment is going and how the skin is doing. Now, as the redness has reduced, most of the AK inflammation has reduced noticeably or gone. Somewhere around 75-80% of the skin has responded well to treatment. But there are some areas of skin, about 20%, especially in the chest area and two spots on the forehead, which are puzzling and worrying. On my chest and neck, where before treatment there was flaking and crusting, now the flaking has gone, but there are still signs of AK in that area. It is not that I am worried, but there are two small bumps on the forehead which are firmly encrusted with some kind of keratinous thick scab. They've gotten smaller, but they haven't disappeared. And I'm worried if these two spots have turned into SCC? Why are these areas of skin lagging behind other areas ? I've done everything as instructed: I've wiped the peeling areas with gauze wipes and I've protected them from the sun. What's wrong? Is it too early for me to switch to the second stage of treatment? Maybe I should run for a biopsy? I would welcome any opinions.
