Can Klisyri treat actinic keratosis on the face?

Klisyri (tirbanibulin) is indicated for the treatment of actinic keratosis on the face or scalp [1]. That means it can be used for lesions located on the face (and also on the scalp) [1].

What part of the face/scalp does the indication cover?

The approved label indication is specifically for actinic keratosis on the face or scalp, not other body areas [1]. If your lesions are outside the face/scalp locations, your clinician may need to consider an alternative treatment.

What if my actinic keratosis is on other areas (e.g., hands or arms)?

Because Klisyri’s indication is limited to the face or scalp, it would generally not be the labeled choice for actinic keratosis on areas like the hands or forearms [1]. Treatment for those locations is typically different and depends on the site and extent of disease.
