RECOMMENDED FOR FAST-GROWING, SCALY, OR TENDER SKIN LESIONS
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer and tends to grow more rapidly than Basal Cell Carcinoma. It develops from the squamous cells near the skin’s surface and can spread deeper into surrounding tissues. In advanced cases, SCC has the potential to metastasize, making early diagnosis and treatment essential. SCCs often appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, scalp, neck, arms and legs, and may be linked to UV damage, welding exposure, or contact with carcinogenic chemicals.
Clinical Assessment of High-Risk Lesions
We begin with a detailed examination of the lesion and surrounding skin to identify signs suggestive of SCC.
- Identification of tender or rapidly enlarging bumps
- Assessment of lesions with central craters or recurrent keratin plugs
- Review of eczema-like patches that may represent early SCC

Diagnostic Imaging
Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy helps differentiate SCC from other skin conditions, giving a deeper look at the structure and behaviour of suspicious spots.
Treatment Planning and Surgical Management
Planning
If SCC is suspected or confirmed, we provide a clear treatment pathway tailored to the lesion’s depth and characteristics.
Long-Term Monitoring and Prevention
Prevention
Because SCC often develops in sun-damaged or high-risk skin, ongoing follow-up is important to maintain long-term skin health.
