I just had squamous cell carcinoma removed from my leg. It did start out as a scaley, itchy spot that grew very quickly. It changed in elevation and became quite painful. This happened within a three week time period. It is an agg ressive form of skin cancer. My dermatologist told me it is the only type that is painful. I did not think it was cancer because of the pain. Act quickly as it took me an additional three weeks to get an appointment to see my dermatologist. I had the Mohs surgery, very pleased, had clean margins.
