Can you tell me the main symptoms of solar keratosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Solar keratosis: The growths are sun-induced (hence "solar") and are pre-cancerous in nature. They tend to be red, flaky, sometimes tender, in sun-exposed areas of the skin. See your dermatologist to get them treated.
