Mel1981 11 Posted July 1, 2023 Hi all, I've had what the dermo calls and AK on my nose. They froze it off and then I used a cream to further assist. Is this something that anyone else has had before? They didn't seem too concerned but said it's best to freeze it like they did. I hear they're pretty common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a wart removed from the side of my nose.....they shaved it off. I had to use Vaseline on it for a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ihadcancer 321 Posted July 10, 2023 Really nothing to worry about. An AK is caused by the sun and by time it forms, it could become cancerous in 10 or so years. I've had many frozen off never to return. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PennyPanic 276 Posted July 21, 2023 I've had several now... they freeze it off. Scares me to pieces...but not much I can do. Apparently they are really common. I get a skin check every 6 months. My doctor is pretty dismissive about it and tells me I have great skin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
