over the age of 18 years old, able to give informed consent, and about to commence 5-flurouracil treatment to face/scalp for solar/actinic damage to their skin.
Patients that have had field-treatment with 5-flurouracil, imiquimod, diclofenac sodium, ingenol mebutate or PDT within the last 12months or those who have periodically spot-treat keratinocyte lesions under the care of their dermatologist or GP within the last 12-months. Patients who would normally carry-out follow-up with their GP (for any reason including rural/remote home address, limited mobility etc.) will also be excluded in the interests of having standardised follow-up for study participants. Should at any time during the study period the clinician elect to cease treatment or perform alternate treatment (e.g. surgical) the participant will be excluded.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assess the suitability of the VISIA Deluxe Imaging System to measure signs of photo damage/photo-aging in patients undergoing treatment with 5-fluroruracil for actinic/solar damage to the scalp/face.<br>This is done by comparing statistical significance testing of quantitative scoring provided by the VISIA, compared to clinical examination of participants skin, e.g. assessing surface scale and keratin, and presence of dermoscopic characteristics e.g. rosettes and strawberry pattern.<br>[2 weeks post commencing treatment<br>]
