Picture
This picture shows an ulcerated area that is likely to be a squamous cell carcinoma.  The area from the ulceration coming around to 8 o'clock is likely to be early SCC as well as there is a lot of scar tissue as well as unusual blood vessels.  All of this that you see in the picture was removed and the skin next to the hair line was sutured to the pink/red tissue from inside the lip. This is an good procedure that is well tolerated with an excellent cosmetic result however some sensitivity will be lost from the lip.
