Histological examination is the gold standard for actinic keratosis diagnosis; however, it is not always a feasible approach. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non‐invasive technique that may be an alternative for monitoring actinic keratoses treatment response. Topical 5‐fluorouracil is indicated for actinic keratosis multiple lesions and for field cancerization treatment.
