Hi,

You seem to have solar keratoses also called actinic keratoses.

The electrocautery cautery under local anaesthesia is a treatment of choice. It is a costly affair as you have multiple lesions.

You may go for other modes of treatment...

- application of diclofenac gel on the lesions
- application of salicylic acid 12% solution on the lesions
- application of TCA solution on the lesions

Above may be used under guidance of dermatologist...but you have to keep patience,as the result might take time. This would be of low cost..ok

I hope you got my answer.
