Prevention strategies are essential for reducing the risk of developing actinic keratosis. Key preventive measures include:
Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Avoiding sun exposure during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses. Avoiding tanning beds. Regular skin checks by a dermatologist, especially if you are at high risk.
