Actinic keratoses are a sun induced cutaneous lesion, currently considered as a squamous cell carcinoma in situ that has the potencial to progress to invasive SCC. To treat them, numerous, ablative and no ablative, therapeutic approaches exist. Among them, imiquimod, a toll like receptor agonist, is effective and safe with an acceptable tolerability in the treatment of AK.
