Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in darker-skinned individuals often presents as firm, scaly, or ulcerated lesions, sometimes appearing darker or thicker due to the skin’s pigmentation, and is commonly found in areas of chronic inflammation or scarring rather than sun-exposed skin. While SCC is less frequent in darker skin tones, it can be more aggressive and is often diagnosed at a more advanced stage. Treatment includes surgical excision, Mohs surgery for high-risk areas, cryotherapy, or radiation therapy, with early detection improving outcomes and reducing the risk of metastasis.
