Actinic Keratosis:

I have removed a large AK from the side of my temple with Lugol's iodine, applied several times a day. Removed it within 4 days...I've had other precancerous lesions around my nose and forehead which I've removed with Lugol's...these took months, so patience is important...

I had been reading about Iodine and how it could get rid of different skin lesions, so I decided to give it a try on several Sebaceous Keratoses on my torso, several quite large. It has worked wonderfully. It took about 2 weeks for them to go away, and I applied it 2x a day most days. I put it on with a q-tip and let it dry before getting dressed. I sometimes scratched them lightly first with a emery nail file before applying the iodine. I use the Lugols, because I also take it by drops internally each day.
