Summary

This clinical trial serves the purpose to compare the long-term effects of a treatment of actinic keratosis - your skin disorder - using Aldara® 5% cream or Solaraze® 3% gel on the face or the scalp. In particular, it should be found out whether the healing effect of these two medications on the skin lesions (i.e. the damaged skin parts) can be maintained for a prolonged period.

Conditions

  • Actinic Keratosis

Interventions

DRUG

Imiquimod

One course of treatment (COT) consisting of an overnight application of IMIQ (1 sachet for up to 50 cm2), applied 3 nights per week (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for 4 weeks followed by a 4 weeks treatment pause. If necessary, this may be followed by a second COT.

DRUG

Diclofenac

Solaraze® is applied locally to the skin 2 times daily and smoothed into the skin gently. The amount needed depends on the size of the lesion. Normally 0.5 grams (the size of a pea) of the gel is used on a 25 cm2 lesion site. The duration of therapy is 12 weeks.
