Topical treatment of mild to moderate actinic keratosis located on the face and head with Solaraze® is known to be a safe and efficient treatment option. However, it is unclear if an expansion of the treatment period to 6 months will increase the rate of complete responses. Therefore the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of actinic keratosis with Solaraze® applied twice daily to the face and head over 3 or 6 months of treatment.
