• Treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), imiquimod, ingenol mebutate, diclofenac, photodynamic therapy, or other treatments for AK within the treatment area or within 2 cm of the treatment area, within 8 weeks prior to the Screening visit.
• Use of the following therapies and/or medications within 2 weeks prior to the Screening visit:
• Cosmetic or therapeutic procedures (e.g., use of liquid nitrogen, surgical excision, curettage, dermabrasion, medium or greater depth chemical peel, laser resurfacing) within the treatment area or within 2 cm of the selected treatment area.
• Acid-containing therapeutic products (eg, salicylic acid or fruit acids, such as alpha- and beta-hydroxyl acids and glycolic acids), topical retinoids, or light chemical peels within the treatment area or within 2 cm of the selected treatment area.
• Topical salves (non-medicated/non-irritant lotion and cream were acceptable) or topical steroids within the treatment area or within 2 cm of the selected treatment area; artificial tanners within the treatment area or within 5 cm of the selected treatment area.
• Use of the following therapies and/or medications within 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit:
