A member asked:

Can skin cancer spread rapidly because i have sjogrens syndrome?

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

No difference?: I'm not aware of any study suggesting that sjogren's syndrome itself would accelerate any skin cancer formation. However, if you take any immune-suppressant type medications, these may.
