Squamous Cell Skin Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Squamous cell skin cancer is a type of skin cancer that originates in the flat cells of the outer layers of the skin, frequently in areas exposed to the sun.
Frequent symptoms: it usually appears as a lesion, crust, or sore that does not heal, a reddish and scaly lump, or a change in an area of skin that grows or bleeds.
When to see a doctor? Any skin lesion that persists, changes in appearance, or does not heal deserves a review.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is key to its evaluation, and the oncologist takes part depending on the characteristics of the case; the general practitioner can guide the first visit. Reviewing any suspicious skin change in time with a professional makes an appropriate approach easier.
