Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer due to extensive sun exposure, occurring most often in fair-skinned and elderly people.
Sebaceous carcinoma
A rare skin cancer, it’s aggressive and can spread, so early diagnosis and treatment is critical.
