| SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA This cancer may appear as a bump, or as a red, scalpy patch. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer found in fair-skinned people. It is rarely found in dark-skinned people. Usually, it is found on the rim of the ear, face, lips, and mouth. This cancer can develop into large masses and spread to other parts of the body. If found early, the cure rate after dermatologic surgery is 95%. |
