Surgery (Non-Invasive)
In some rare cases, the doctor might suggest surgery, typically for those who suffer from actinic keratosis (AK). The symptoms of AK include the same patches of scaly skin that have become damaged due to overexposure to the sun. Typically, this condition doesn’t cause many problems, but some damaged areas could eventually become skin cancer without treatment. This is why non-invasive surgery acts as a decent treatment method. In cryotherapy, the dermatologist will attempt to freeze the precancerous cells on your scalp using liquid nitrogen. There are plenty of interesting ways to treat damaged/dry scalp, with cryotherapy being one of the more unorthodox methods. The help of such surgery can stop your AK from eventually progressing into skin cancer.
Surgery is not usually a treatment used to deal with dry scalp, as many different remedies and treatments can ease the symptoms. However, there are situations where the damage can lead to something much worse if left unchecked. It is for such a reason that non-invasive surgery becomes an option. As a form of treatment, it’s surprisingly effective at halting precancerous cells.
