New and emerging treatments for photoaging.
It is easy to become too busy treating the sequelae of photoaging, actinic keratoses, and skin cancers to discuss prevention adequately with patients. With children, sun-protective measures and sunscreen information should be the main therapeutic intervention. In any young adult with an actinic keratosis or skin cancer, topical and resurfacing treatments should be considered. In older patients with fragile skin and solar purpura, reversal of photodamage can have a positive effect on daily functioning.
