Squamous cell carcinoma, also known as squamous cell carcinoma, is also one of the early signs of skin cancer. It often occurs on the lower lip or scalp of the face, and it can also grow on the glans. It starts as a small dark red nodule with dilated capillaries on the surface. Later, an ulcer occurs in the center of the nodule, gradually expanding and rising above the skin surface, turning outward like a cauliflower. The base of the ulcer is flesh-red, uneven, and easy to bleed. The area can develop to the size of a peach or larger. It is often combined with bacterial infection and has sticky pus, which can form scabs, have a special odor, and feel painful.

Basal cell carcinoma is a common skin tumor, mostly occurring on the face. It starts as a small nodule the size of a grain of rice or soybean, yellow-red with a waxy sheen, hard in texture, with dilated capillaries visible on its surface. The nodule gradually expands to the size of a fingernail, becoming a disc-shaped plaque. After the surface layer breaks, a brown scab forms on the upper layer, and the base is bright red and easily bleeds. The edge of the ulcer curls inward, is hard, and resembles a rat bite. If this phenomenon occurs, it may be an early sign of skin cancer and should be paid attention to.
