Is there a cream or lotion that treats keratosis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probly not: Keratosis is sometimes referred to as actinic or senile. It is a pathological change in the cell. Avoid sun exposure. Age and family history are risk factors. Excision could be used for cosmetic reasons.

Keratosis: Yes, a combination of a keratolytic and steroid lotion or ointment along with a hygienic change can help immensely.
