Just found out the small bump on my face that was removed is squamous cell carcinoma and my dermatologist is sending me to surgeon. Has anyone else had this? I’ve read that there may be a connection with skin cancer and lupus. Just curious to see if anyone else has had it.
I just had one removed from my chest , also squamous cell . My dermatologist didn't say it was connected to lupus , I see him again in several weeks I'll have to ask .
Just had surgery to remove melanoma this week
I've just discovered a side effect to taking immunosuppressants fir lupus can lead to cancers, specifically skin cancer. So sorry you're going through all of this.
I haven't.
Non-melanomatous skin cancer risk is increased in persons with lupus. As @A MyLupusTeam Member unfortunately has experienced, though there is not an associated increased risk of melanoma, melanoma does also occur in persons with lupus.
