The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of two techniques to monitor the clearance of AK lesions when treated with Aldara 5% cream.
Each technique will be assessed by comparison of lesion counts (clinical and sub-clinical) revealed by the techniques, at start and end of the study and those demonstrated during treatment. In addition a qualitative assessment of each technique will be made for performance and ease of use.
