Measure
Fluorouracil 0.5%
each subject will receive the study medication: Carac® 0.5% Fluorouracil, a standard treatment for actinic keratoses. Carac® will be dispensed to the subjects in the original tube with MEMS electronic monitoring caps attached. Subjects will be asked to apply the medication daily to AK lesions Fluorouracil 0.5%: Subjects will apply the smallest amount of study medication possible that is just sufficient to cover all of the affected areas daily to AK lesions
