Common Skin Cancer Types

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinomas often happen in commonly exposed parts of the body. They can also be found on the genitals or in the mouth. There are various forms and shapes that you would notice, such as scaly and red spots, open and bleeding sores, bleeding and crusting growths, or elevated and tender growths. In many cases, you can feel intense itching and tenderness due to inflammation on the skin. Avoid scratching affected areas or it would lead to an infection. [4]
