Summary

This clinical trial serves the purpose to compare the long-term effects of a treatment of actinic keratosis - your skin disorder - using Aldara® 5% cream or Solaraze® 3% gel on the face or the scalp. In particular, it should be found out whether the healing effect of these two medications on the skin lesions (i.e. the damaged skin parts) can be maintained for a prolonged period.

Conditions

• Actinic Keratosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Imiquimod	One course of treatment (COT) consisting of an overnight application of IMIQ (1 sachet for up to 50 cm2), applied 3 nights per week (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for 4 weeks followed by a 4 weeks treatment pause. If necessary, this may be followed by a second COT.
