Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
BackSkin Cancer - Irregular thickened red scaly lesions usually on sunshine exposed areas.
This is the second commonest form of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma . These occur on sunshine exposed areas and are related to outdoor exposure.
There is very little chance of this problem spreading to any internal area of the body but they do need specialist urgent assessment and surgical removal.
Unlike basal cell carcinomas which are often smooth and domed, squamous cell carcinomas are usually scaly and more irregular. If you are worried use our online consultation now for my expert opinion.
