First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a common bleeding-control medication (aluminum chloride) to a standard skin cream (5-fluorouracil) works better at removing actinic keratoses—rough, scaly spots from sun damage that can turn into skin cancer. About 32 adults with 4-15 spots on their scalp or forearms will apply either the standard cream or the combination for one week. Doctors will count and photograph the spots before, right after, and 8 weeks later to see which treatment is more effective.
