  Introduction: Actinic keratosis (AKs) are part of the cancerization field, a region adjacent to AKs containing subclinical and histologically abnormal epidermal tissue due to Ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage. The photoproducts, “as consequence of DNA damage induced by UV”, are mainly cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). Fernblock® demonstrated in previous studies significant reduction of the number of CPDs induced by UV radiation. Photolyases are a specific group of enzymes that remove the major UV-induced DNA lesions by a mechanism called photo-reactivation. Methods: A monocentric, prospective, controlled, and double blind interventional study was performed to evaluate the effect of a new medical device (NMD) containing a DNA-repair enzyme complex (photolyases, endonucleases and glycosilases), a combination of..
