A member asked:
How long does it take for an ak to turn into scc skin cancer? ive had one for ten years then it regressed should i be worried it spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worry: Had actinic keratosis turned into cancer, you would have seen it at that site. AK does not spread into other organs. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
