    I recently had much success using the carac treatment on my entire forehead and nose. I did not have any pain, just felt like a bad sunburn and the irration lasted just two weeks. The benefits have been huge. My face feels so soft now. And its a good feeling to know that many pre-cancer spots are gone. I would recommend to anyone.

She was pleased with the results she observed on my face and said not to continue the treatment. She emphasized that the treatment would not prevent other actinic keratosis to develop so be sure to use sunscreen. I have another appt with her in 2 months. When I asked why the original spot didn ... Show Full Comment
