Squamous<unk>  carcinoma (SCC) is type of non-melanoma skin cancer. The cancer arises as a result of uncontrolled growth of the squamous<unk> s in the epidermis of the skin. Unlike it's counter part, the basal<unk>  carcinoma which also belongs to the group of non-melanoma cancer, squamous<unk>  carcinoma is rapid growing and invasive. SCCs may occur on all areas of the body including the mucous membranes and genitals, but are most common in areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the rim of the ear, lower lip, face, bald scalp, neck, hands, arms and legs. Wrinkling, changes in pigmentation, and loss of elasticity of the skin are often the telltale signs of sun damage.
