What are the symptoms of actinic keratosis?

Usually, the first signs of actinic keratosis are rough, raised bumps on your skin. They can vary in color but often have a yellow or brown crust on top. These bumps may be:

  • Gray.
  • Pink.
  • Red.
  • The same color as your skin.

Symptoms may also include:

  • Bleeding.
  • Burning, stinging or itching.
  • Dry, scaly lips.
  • Hornlike skin growths that stick out (like an animal’s horn).
  • Loss of color in the lips.
  • Pain or tenderness.
