For Actinic Keratosis "This drug cost $841.24 for 3 little tubes of medicine with a very small amount of Picato in each tube. I applied it on my forehead as directed for 3 days, the infected area turned red, scabbed over, and healed nicely. Approximately 1 month later, my condition started to reappear, and several months later, I am in the same condition that I looked prior to my using this drug. It did nothing for me."

For Actinic Keratosis "Started burning within 30 minutes. My cheeks were red as if severely sunburned. The burning subsided after 3 hours. My cheeks stayed red. The next morning, my face was swollen. Three days later, there are still red blotches all over my face. The skin is extremely dry and cracky. I pray my skin will recover its softness at some point. Needless to say, I did not apply on Day 2."

For Actinic Keratosis "It’s been 4 months since I used Picato gel on my entire face. (I have 6 areas of AK to be treated.) I still have redness, and my skin has completely changed. It’s very dry and rough. My face used to be really oily. I exfoliate once or twice a week and have been using Beautycounter products for 3 months without any change. Another thing I’ve noticed is small acne-like whiteheads where the redness is the most noticeable. (Forehead, nose, chin.) Has anyone else experienced this? Will it ever get better? :-("
