Abstract A treatment to alleviate the symptoms of actinic or nonactinic keratoses consisting of topical application of a solution, lotion, cream or ointment containing retinal is disclosed. The therapeutic composition may include retinal as an active ingredient present in an amount of from 0.01 to 2 percent by weight of the total composition. Topical application of the therapeutic composition in a solution, lotion, cream or ointment has been found to achieve from substantial to complete remissions of the keratoses in humans.
