Anyone have Squamous cell cancer and where?

Posted by metermaidman @metermaidman, Sep 26, 2025

I have a lesion on my left side of my face just below my ear. Does surgery help or is there a medical cream I can use to avoid surgery?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Melanoma & Skin Cancer Support Group.

@ptrjohng I have another one same side! Hate the thought of more Mohs surgery but it has to be done. The worst part for me was after 8 hours post surgery it felt like I was being stung by a 100 bees, this lasted on and off for about 2 days. Best of luck to you,keep us updated.

@lips702 I just read about this treatment - it appears to be very helpful for those people who cannot undergo surgery or radiation, so ideal for you. Wishing you all the best. Please let me know how it works out.

My new oncologist also specializes in Melanoma.
It took a lot of research and networking to find him.
My squamous cells keep multiplying!
Looking forward to new drug, Unloxcyt
