“…The Iraqi population has relatively low incidence rates of NMSC, melanoma, and other forms of skin cancers due to the presence of skin types III and IV, which provide melanin photoprotection to the skin [49,50] In a study performed by Sharquie et al suggested the most common skin tumor in the Iraqi population is BCC followed by SCC, basosquamous, keratoacanthoma, and lastly seborrheic keratosis. [14] In the present study, the prevalence of solar keratosis is quite high among middle-aged and elderly individuals who are between ages 50 and 65 years, and males (51.3%) are prone to developing these lesions almost comparable to women (48.7%) because almost all people have outdoor activity and chronic exposure to the sun.

“…For example, according to South Korean statistics, the rate ranges from 0.02% in 40-year-olds to 0.09% in 60-year-olds to 0.21% in 70-year-olds [13]. It is interesting to note that despite most people in Iraq having skin types III and IV, solar keratosis is still a common problem [14,15].…”
