1. Keratosis Has The Potential To Turn Into A Skin Cancer
Although on face value keratosis may seem innocent and nothing more than irritated skin, the
reality is there could be far reaching consequences if left undiagnosed and treated. Doctors and
dermatologists from all corners of the planet are trying to educate the public with regards to this
skin condition as in some cases keratosis has the potential to turn cancerous.
Early identification, diagnosis, and treatment are the key. For this reason we hope to share this
collation of expert perspectives as it could potentially prevent a life threatening disease.
DISTINGUISHING THE VARIATIONS OF KERATOSIS
Keratosis Pilaris
This is the most frequently diagnosed derivative of keratosis. This hereditary condition affects
roughly 50 percent of the globe at some point in their lives. Keratosis pilaris is evidenced by
rough, spiky, gooseflesh-type skin, usually found upon the upper arms, cheeks or thighs, and
occasionally on the back or buttocks. Keratosis pilaris can also appear on the face as very tiny
unnoticeable group of bumps that resemble acne pimples (often referred to as “chicken skin”).
Treatment can involve topical solutions or microdermabrasion; however the simple use of a
natural skin moisturizing program is usually the most effective and non-intrusive solution.
Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic keratoses are benign lumps of the skin, they do not represent cancer. They typically
appear as light brown areas on the skin that appear to be ‘stuck on’. They can breakout in any
location, but they most often occur on the face, chest, and back; and tend to grow slowly over
time. As a result of seborrheic keratoses becoming very large, unsightly, and itchy doctors can
remove them on request. However, the inflammation or itchiness can be easily treated with the
use of a deep moisturizing skin care cream.
Acrinic Keratosis
Actinic keratosis, also commonly called solar keratosis, is intensely hazardous due to its
pre-cancer properties. However, nearly all acrinic keratosis can be eliminated without becoming
skin cancers which makes early detection and prevention of upmost importance.
Actinic keratosis is characterized by a scaly, crusty, horny, dry bump on the skin surface. The
base may be light or dark, tan, pink, red, an amalgamation of these, or the same color as your
skin. It is most commonly found on the parts of the body most frequently exposed to sunshine.
Treatment is predominantly based on the removal of the effected areas. This is usually achieved
through Cryosurgery, where the lesions are frozen off with liquid nitrogen. Chemical peels can
also be used, whereby acid dissolves the top layers of skin, which is later replaced by the

TREATMENT FOR KERATOSIS
The sooner the particular strand in question can be identified, the sooner the treatment for
keratosis can begin. For this reason, commanding an expert level of understanding of your
particular skin problem is the key.
The treatment itself is, in most instances, is relatively harmless and simple to administer. The
most frequently recommended plan of action is centered on the daily application of a deep
penetrating non-toxic moisturizer along with an effective natural exfoliate. Only then can the skin
replenish itself by shedding away the dry, dead, potentially cancerous cells, replacing them with
healthy smooth skin.
A 100% natural product such as Bioskincare is both an efficient alternative skin cancer
prevention cream and safe keratosis pilaris treatment product. Using this moisturizing cream
daily directly on clean, dry skin effectively breaks keratin plugs and dissolves abnormal tissues,
while engaging itself as an activator of skin regeneration on freshly resurfaced skin.
