For Actinic Keratosis "I have now finished my second Picato treatment for AK. I did the first about 8 months ago. While the process is quite painful and very unsightly for a good 29/24 days, I have been very pleased with not only the results of removing the AK sites but helped my entire face to look smoother, more evenly pigmented with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. I did use coconut oil two days after the 3-day topical treatment. I had severe flaking, cracking, a few blisters, and couldn't open my mouth to eat with the pain. The doctor did prescribe me a lotion to promote healing after the procedure, but insurance wouldn't cover it, and it would cost $75. I stuck with the coconut oil. More info is needed for patients after treatment."

For Keratosis "After using this treatment over 2 months ago, the places on my face (cheek and nose) are still red. It caused huge blistering, pain, and looked like the worst sunburn you can imagine. Doctor says the redness will go away."

For Actinic Keratosis "I used Picato first dose yesterday afternoon. I felt nothing and saw nothing until I went to bed. It became very sore, tight, and red. I was able to have a restless sleep. It did not completely keep me up. This morning, the whole area was covered in blisters, but no pain. I reapplied this afternoon on a smaller area. I was afraid to put on the whole area since it was so blistered. It's Sunday, so I can't ask for suggestions from the dermatologist. Next time, I will make sure I take my dosage during the week in case I need help from my doctor."
