Common Types Of Skin Cancer In Men

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma grows slowly and rarely, rarely spreads. This is good news, men! It appears in the skin's top layer. Why? DNA changes! This triggers squamous cells to grow out of control. The result of this? A red, scaly, and crusty patch of skin.

Men, you're going to be at a huge risk of SCC if you use tanning beds or get too much UV exposure from the sun. Got light skin and eyes? Men, this increases your risk too! Wearing sunscreen is so, so important. If you do get SCC? Treatment means medicated cream, cryotherapy, curettage, and the excision of the affected skin.
