9/26. Last day of my 2 week treatment. Here is a recap. My Dermatologist has been freezing my AKs for about 3 years. The downside to this method is the scaring and it only gets the AKs on the surface of the skin.
A new Doc told me about another treatment that is chemotherapy based but in a cream that is applied every night for 2 weeks. It covers a larger area and also gets the AKs that are below the skin level, those still forming. During the treatment, the skin becomes very red (much like a bad sunburn). My scalp is very blotchy due to the scars from the previous freezing. No physical discomfort for me. I have also not had any side effects.
All good so far. I go back for a check up in another week. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement. MLNHD, good luck with your treatment. Let us know how it goes for you.
Here are some updated photos from last night.

Max it is great to hear your good prognosis. The mild discomfort and suffering you have experienced during the last few weeks will be worth it in the long run.
All the best to you O0
