Actinic Keratosis
"I am in the middle of a Carac cream treatment (2 weeks of twice a day, then 2 weeks off, then 2 more weeks of treatment). This is my 4th time using the cream (face, chest) over the years. The results will be good, but the treatment can be challenging.  Here is what I have found to be helpful.  Ice packs make all the difference for me.  Whenever I feel the itch coming on, I grab ice and leave it on the area until the itch subsides.  Also triamcinolone cream really helps.  My doctor prefers the ointment, but I find it difficult to remove.  The cream goes on easy, helps with the itch and the healing.  On the worst days, I took a prescription pain pill which saved me.  My doctor recommended it."
