Brief Summary:
This proposed project will be an open-label, split face, randomized controlled pilot study. Up to 60 patients with diffuse facial actinic keratosis will be enrolled in the study. The purpose of this study is to understand the change in skin appearance throughout 5-FU treatment course and to examine whether a topical corticosteroid and moisturizer can decrease severity and duration of skin inflammation after 5-FU treatment course.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Actinic Keratoses Drug: Topical Steroid Ointment Other: Vaseline Drug: Skin Barrier Moisturier Phase 4

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study to understand the change in skin appearance during and after the course of 5-FU cream in patients with AK, and compare how the appearance of skin inflammation changes with the use of topical corticosteroids and moisturizers.
