Mukhtar: 'Are there any doctors in the chat?' Haji Sivamu Replying to @I_amMukhtar 'Actinic keratosis (AK)- most plausible Why it fits Occurs on chronically sun-exposed skin (neck. face, scalp) Appears as erythematous, rough, scaly patches Extremely common in older adults Clinical significance AK is premalignant ~5-20% may progress to squamous cell carcinoma' Replying to @DrsansariOrd and @l amMukhtar 'So his best option would be neck amputation ?' Replying to @MrMurphywilldo and @l amMukhtar 'No. Actinic keratosis is usually treated with simple local therapies (cryotherapy or topical agents) Amputation isn't even remotely relevant'
