Treat the lesion: Yes, you should be concerned. While squamous cell carcinoma (scca) of the skin ; lip is less virulent than melanoma, it still can spread beyond its borders. Many sccas can be cured but require excision or the use of radiation therapy. If the lesion has encroached beyond skin into mucosal territories the need for treatment may be heightened. Please consult with an otolaryngologist or dermatologist.
