A member asked:
If a rash appears in the same area, but goes away by itself or after a week of topical steroids, and doesnt reappear for months or longer, is it unlikely to be squamous cell carcinoma? is that persistent and so wouldnt go away with topical steroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While the described behavior would be highly atypical for a cancer to respond to steroids, rare conditions that involve inflammation around a tumoral site cannot be ruled out. Best would be to take also pictures of the site when irritated and when not and see your doc to have a resolution and better plan overall.
