Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Is frequently seen on areas that are always exposed to the sun's radiation although it may also be seen on any part of the body. They are often found on the skin but in some cases, it spreads to nearby tissues and organ systems, rendering it fatal. It commonly occurs on injured skin, like burns, scars, sores that have not yet healed for several weeks, or areas exposed to chemicals and radiation from x-rays. Sometimes, carcinomas appear just for no reason. Squamous cell carcinomas may also be genetically inherited.
The symptoms of squamous cell carcinomas:
1. A wartlike growth that crusts and may bleed.
2. A red, scaly patch with irregular borders that bleeds of crusts.
3. An open sore that bleeds and crusts for weeks and doesn't heal.
4. An elevated growth with a central depression that may bleed and could grow rapidly.
