Removal of Actinic Keratosis (sun spots)?

Question

I had some sun spots frozen for removal, but one on my face was sort of big and they cut it away from the skin. Well I guess some of the skin had to be cut too and now I have a small indentation. Has anyone had this done and did the skin grow back? I plan on calling the dr. when the office reopens. Thanks.

Actinic Keratosis



Actinic keratosis (also called solar keratosis, sun spots or AK) is a pre-cancerous condition of thick, scaly or crusty patches of skin (actinic – caused by sunlight; keratosis – thickened scaly growth). AK is common in fair-skinned people and caused by long-term sun exposure. AKs may progress to invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and are by far the most common lesion with malignant potential to arise on the skin. In the United States, AK represents the second most frequent reason for patients to visit a dermatologist. The frequency of AKs is directly related to sun exposure and skin type. AK can occur in patients as young as 20 or 30 years of age in areas of high sun exposure but is more common in patients aged 50 years and older.
