YES
This works on many skin problems, though not all. The reaction can be very violent and the scabbiness lasts for about 2 weeks. If you are treating the face this has to be considered. There is no scarring at all when the eruption dies down and there is usually no return of the problem. If the area just goes red and does not erupt it is not going to work.

YES
Milkweed euphorbia peplus is an effective treatment for actinic keratosis. I have a friend who used it to successfully remove an actinic keratosis, and warts.

Another friend who used milkweed for the first time - he put a few drops of sap above his eyebrow, and rubbed it in with his finger. That night the entire side of his face swelled up, and his eye was swollen closed. It took two days for the swelling to subside. To his credit, he continued to use it in much smaller doses, following the instructions at the link on the top of this page. Again, milkweed was successful in removing a variety of keratoses. He also used it with success to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
