Dr. Jerome Litt answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Squamous cell cancer: It is not impossible for squamous cell cancers to show up in "bunches." some chemotherapeutic medications that can trigger these. Early exposure to radiation (x-ray treatments for acne, for example) or excessive sun exposure to an area of the skin.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
