How to Recognize and Manage Low-Risk cSCC
Published: Mar 28, 2024
Recognizing and managing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) early is crucial. Follow these steps to stay proactive.
Spotting the Signs
Look for persistent, scaly red patches or open sores that don’t heal. These could be early signs of cSCC. Regular self-examinations help spot changes in your skin early.
Seeking Professional Help
Consult a dermatologist if you notice suspicious skin changes. A professional can perform a biopsy to confirm the presence of cSCC and recommend a treatment plan.
Following Treatment Plans
Once diagnosed, follow your treatment plan closely. This might include surgical excision or other treatments. Regular follow-ups are important to monitor for recurrence.
