Squamous Cell Skin Cancer treatment in Cancún

Squamous cell skin cancer, also called squamous cell carcinoma, is a type of skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells of the superficial layer of the skin.

Common causes: It is mainly associated with prolonged exposure to solar radiation or to artificial sources of ultraviolet light over the years, as well as with certain individual skin factors.

Common symptoms: It may appear as a persistent lesion, crust, or ulcer, a scaly area that does not heal, or a growth in sun-exposed areas.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist and the oncologist are the ones who evaluate this type of lesion. If you notice a spot or wound on the skin that does not heal, it is worth showing it to a specialist for a timely check.
