I had a spot on my leg checked today and the Dermatologist is sure it's a Keratoses, a pre cancerous lesion.

She's suggesting a biopsy in Feb followed by light treatment therapy (PDT) I know very little about this and just wondering if anyone can give advice or has had this happen??

Thanks in advance for any info
