Summary

This study tests whether adding aluminum chloride hexahydrate to a standard prescription cream (5-fluorouracil) works better at removing actinic keratoses—rough, scaly spots from sun exposure that can turn into skin cancer. About 32 adults with 4-15 spots on their scalp or forearms will apply one of two creams for a week. Doctors will count spots and check redness before, right after, and 8 weeks later to see which treatment works best.
