Squamous cell carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common form of skin cancer that arises from the squamous cells, which make up the middle and outer layers of the skin.
While it is generally not life-threatening, it can be aggressive and spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
SCC often appears as a red, scaly patch, an open sore, or a wart-like growth that may crust or bleed.
It is most commonly found on areas of the body frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck, lips, and backs of the hands.
However, it can also occur in other areas, including the mouth, throat, and genitals.
Risk factors for developing squamous cell carcinoma include prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds, having a fair complexion, a history of sunburns, a weakened immune system, and exposure to certain chemicals or radiation.
People with a history of precancerous skin lesions or other forms of skin cancer are also at increased risk.
Early detection and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma are crucial to prevent its spread and potential complications.
Symptoms to watch for include persistent, non-healing sores, rough or scaly patches, and any new growths or changes in existing moles or skin lesions.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical evaluation promptly.
