Cell Carcinoma

The most typical type of skin cancer is called squamous cell carcinoma. It typically appears on body parts that have been damaged by UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds. The head, neck, chest, upper back, ears, lips, arms, legs, and hands are all built from exposed skin. It is a skin cancer that is sufficiently slow-growing. Squamous cell carcinomas can manifest as flat, reddish or brownish patches of skin that are frequently covered in scales or have a rough texture. They typically appear on sun-exposed body parts such the face, ears, neck, lips, and backs of hands. They tend to grow slowly. Free cell growth is cancer.
