Abstract:
A method for treating actinic keratosis or basal cell carcinoma. A person's skin is inspected to identify areas that exhibit lesions indicating actinic keratosis or basel cell carcinoma. If such areas are found, a treating composition is applied to the skin in that area. The treating composition may include avobenzone, octocrylene, octyl salicylate, and oxybenzone, and optionally may additionally include SD alcohol 40, Calkyl benzoate, acrylates, octylacrylamide copolymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose, PEG-40 sorbitan peroleate, tocopherol, and aloe barbadensis extract. The skin is monitored regularly to determine whether the skin lesions remain, and the treating composition is applied several times daily for a period of at least two months until the area is substantially free of the lesions.
