Topical treatments for actinic keratosis represent a well-established clinical option, although they are often associated with local skin reactions that can negatively impact patient adherence. In this webinar, Drs. Gabriella Brancaccio and Giulia Briatico will present findings from a broad expert consensus study aimed at identifying optimal management strategies for these reactions. Prof. Giuseppe Argenziano will provide commentary and further insights, offering a critical overview and practical guidance to enhance adherence and improve adverse event management in everyday clinical practice.
