How it looks and being ulcerated could be from being there a long time. As it grows it gets bigger and irritation of skin increased. Are you scratching the area? Try not to as just adds to irritation.

Without a biopsy being done you do not know if advanced. What biopsy will reveal is how deep, how long, and if skin cancer and what type.. I have had some very long and some areas no bigger than a pencil eraser.

There are so many ways to treat skin cancer now with great success rates for all. Please understand that skin cancer is very common especially with those who are fair skinned and spent a lot of time in sun (like me). Doesn't mean a dark skin will not get skin cancer just more damage is likely from sun to light skin.

You have not been through a biopsy yet so don't conclude anything. I thought I had another SCC as had all the signs of it but the biopsy revealed it was plaque psoriasis.
