I had a squamous cell growth over my ear, on my hairline. My dermo said it was a fatty tumor and sent me to a
cosmetic surgeon for removal. I didn't like what I was hearing and called my MOHS dr. at Mayo who advised my dermo to do a punch biopsy which revealed a squamous tumor. I had surgery soon after with head and neck surgeon at Mayo...big incision down the side of my face but it healed great. PET showed it had gone into a neck lymph node. I followed with 20 radiation treatments and lost a nice patch of hair over my ear. That followed 2 years of Libtayo infusions every 3 weeks and now its under control. So, don't take no for an answer...be your own advocate and research Mayo site and see a second dr. if you don't feel served.
