The sap from milkweed can be used for treating various skin lesions, including those of actinic keratosis. It comes out of the stem, so after a small cut is made, a drop can be applied to the affected area two times per day. A typical process usually occurs with the first day of redness, followed by swelling, oozing, drying, and scabbing. It is best to try it out first with a very small drop.

This purple vegetable may be helpful for treating actinic keratosis using a simple recipe. Mince an eggplant into fine pieces and put them in a jar. Fill with enough apple cider vinegar to cover the eggplant and store in the refrigerator for about three days. The vinegar will turn a darker shade, which means it is ready to use. Apply to the area with a cotton ball multiple times daily.
