Question: Keratosis. I have just had a small scaly growth removed from the top of my ear. The doctors said that it was a Keratosis and not a cancer, however the information I managed to get off the Internet indicates that a keratosis is an SCC (squamous cell carcinoma). To me that sounds like a cancer. Anyone out there know better -- rogerdelannney@spammenot.com (Roger Delaney) Please reply to qznaz (Ref:0633)
Answer: Keratosis Since I've had both - keratosis and squamous spots removed - it is my belief that the keratosis - if left alone COULD become malignant. Basal cell is the least of the cancerous forms - squamous is the next - and then melanoma. Keratosis are usually the damaged sun spots that are removed with liquid nitrogen. Squamous cell is cut out with considerable good tissue to ensure removal of all. Hope this eases your mind. -- Mary Frankenfield mhnspfrank@earthlink.net
Answer: Keratosis. Defined as benign on medical websites but one of mine developed into a small cancer that had to be removed by surgery. I still get small scaley growths developing on my scalp and I remove them with repairman's freezer spray and a soldering iron, the remaining scar is not noticeable after a few months. I prefer not to wait until the doc decides it is big enough to require action. Better save than sorry -- DavenospamZeke@quartnsp.obo.com
Follow-Up: Keratosis: I have in the past been prescribed Solaraze for the small actinic Keratosis on my forearms and scalp. I found it not at all efective but was later given a preparation called Efudix which has made all of the scaly patches disappear. -- Sabina Patel-Johnson London
