Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to talk to you about signs of skin cancer. Now, in this clip, we're going to talk to you about one of three types of commonly found, diagnosed skin cancer, and that is Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Now, let's do a close up picture of what squamous cell carcinoma could look like. Now squamous cell is less commonly found than diagnosed than basal cell carcinoma. Now, these lesions are more commonly found in the scalp area or on the ear lobes. And, if you look closely at the picture you can see that squamous cell carcinoma usually presents itself with red crusty overlay and it doesn't heal very, very easily and bleeding is constant. Now, if you see these lesions you definitely should follow up with your doctor and go and get a consult and diagnosis. So, this is squamous cell carcinoma."
