Actinic keratosis undergoing topical chemotherapy with Effudex or similar.
AK is precancerous usually due sun exposure. Effudex cream interrupts cell division at a certain age of developing skin cells so they die. Once enough skin cells have died you stop using effudex and the skin heals rapidly better than new.
It's like a targeted chemical burn. Needs to be done every so often, like 10 years or whatever, depending.
