At Bollin Clinic in Altrincham, we offer advanced and compassionate care for Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)—the second most common form of skin cancer. SCC typically develops due to prolonged sun exposure and often appears as a rough, scaly patch, sore, or growth that may crust or bleed. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further tissue damage or the rare possibility of cancer spreading to other areas. Our experienced team of dermatologists and skin surgeons specialises in the safe and effective removal of SCC lesions. Depending on the severity and stage, treatment options may include precise surgical excision, curettage and cautery, topical medications, or skin grafts for larger or deeper lesions. We ensure that each treatment plan is personalised, taking into account the size, depth, location, and patient health status.

Book NowSquamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive. Untreated, squamous cell carcinoma can grow large or spread to other parts of your body, causing serious complications. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the best outcomes.
The higher the stage of the tumor, the greater the chance it could spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. However, squamous cell carcinoma on sun-exposed areas of skin (such as the face) usually does not spread. Early treatment significantly reduces this risk.
Squamous cell carcinomas may appear as flat reddish or brownish patches in the skin, often with a rough, scaly, or crusted surface. They tend to grow slowly and usually occur on sun-exposed areas of the body, such as the face, ears, neck, lips, and backs of the hands.
For early-stage squamous cell carcinoma, the prognosis is excellent with proper treatment. However, once squamous cell carcinoma has spread beyond the skin, less than half of people live five years, even with aggressive treatment. This emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment.
Treatment options include surgical excision, Mohs surgery for high-risk cases, curettage and electrodesiccation, cryotherapy, and radiation therapy. The choice depends on the tumor size, location, stage, and patient factors. Our specialists tailor treatment for optimal outcomes.
Depending upon the size and location, it may take up to 4 to 6 weeks for the wound to heal completely. Daily wound care is required, but infection, bleeding, and pain are uncommon. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to weeks.
Prevention includes using broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoiding tanning beds, wearing protective clothing, seeking shade during peak hours, and performing regular self-examinations. Annual professional skin checks are essential, especially for high-risk individuals.
