I don't think we have AK, we have KP.

i wholeheartedly agree, lisa. after reading up on AK, which i had never heard of before, it seems obvious that these are two very different conditions. AK appears to basically be pre-cancerous spots or lesions caused by too much sun damage. too much sun exposure can give you skin cancer - we all know that! KP is a benign (in terms of being physically dangerous) skin condition, it is not a disease. it is NOT caused by too much sun. i had no sun exposure in the womb.
