Recurring squamous cell cancer

This seems highly unusual, particularly because it is +16 which should respond well to meds. My opinion is you should get a second opinion as soon as possible. MD Anderson would be an excellent choice. Be your best advocate.

I’m new to this thread. I recently had Mohs surgery for what appeared to be a scar formation that developed after a biopsy on my forehead.
My doctor was not concerned because the biopsy came back as actinic keratosis.
The scar stayed the same for a long time but then quickly over a month grew.
Another biopsy reported desmoplastic squamous cell infiltrative.
My doctor wants me to have radiation because of its type.
The excision sutured area is about 1/2 inch from my scalp and about 3 inches long.
Has anyone had radiation and their hair grew back?
Losing hair on the front top of my head as a woman is very distressing.
Any thoughts would be helpful.

No he stated it was due to Lichen Planus which is not the same as HPV+ cancer. It does tend to reoccur.
