Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arises in the outer layers of the skin and can spread if left untreated. SCC requires prompt intervention, as it is linked to 1 in 4 skin cancer-related deaths in Australia (AIHW, 2023).
What to Look For:
A firm, scaly lump or sore that fails to heal.
A rough, wart-like patch that grows rapidly.
A persistent sore that easily bleeds.
A thickened, red or pink lesion with irregular edges.
One half of the mole looks different from the other.
Irregular, jagged, or blurred edges.
Uneven shades of brown, black, red, or even blue.
Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
Changes in shape, size, or sensation over time.
SCCs that are detected early are highly treatable. However, neglected SCCs can metastasize, leading to severe complications (AIHW, 2023).
Regular skin checks help detect SCC early—book your appointment today.
