Transient local skin reactions with topical Actinic Keratosis treatments such as 5-FluoroUracil (5-FU) often lead to non-adhesion from patients and thus to treatment failure. In regards to 5-FU treatment, these local reactions are related to the pharmacological action of the molecule. The current therapeutic challenge is to reduce the local reactions induced by 5-FU without interfering with its efficacy, in particular by the use of an emollient cream.
The aim of the present study is to investigate how the use of an emollient, namely Dexeryl, could improve the local skin reactions occurring during 4 weeks of a 4% 5-FU treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:
Participants are eligible only if all of the following criteria apply:
Age
Participant must be more than 18 years old inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
Individuals with a clinical diagnosis of actinic keratosis (AK).

Ethical/Legal considerations
Affiliated to a social security system, or is a beneficiary (if applicable in the national regulation).
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
Medical Conditions
With AK lesions within treatment areas which are hyperkeratotic or which are clinically suspected to be squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
With pre-existing local skin reactions with a total score ≥ 3.
History of hypersensitivity to the ingredients of Tolak® or Dexeryl®.
With a known allergy to peanut or soya.
Non postmenopausal or non surgically sterile woman considered as WOCBP, pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Prior/Concomitant Therapy
Under systemic 5-fluorouracil or any systemic cancer treatment within eight weeks prior to the study.

Under prescription retinoids or topical steroids in the treatment area(s) within four weeks prior to the study.
With known dihydropyrimidinedehydrogénase (DPD) deficiency or under treatment with brivudine, sorivudine or analogues within 4 weeks prior to starting the study.
Treated with glycolic acid products and alpha-hydroxy products in the treatment area(s) within four weeks prior to starting the study.
Treated with chemical peeling products in the treatment area(s) within eight weeks prior to starting the study.
Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience
Is participating in another clinical trial
Has participated in another clinical trial within the last 30 days, has received treatment with known remnant effects or undergone investigation liable to interfere with the present clinical trial Other Exclusions
Is a family member of the Investigator or any associate, colleague, and employee assisting in the conduct of the study (secretary, nurse, technician,…)
