Fingernail Swelling and Pain for Months Leads to Diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Severe Cases May Require Amputation, Doctors Warn

Reported 8 months ago

A man in his 70s discovered that his fingernail had been swollen and painful for months, only to find out he had squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed. Doctors caution that nails can also develop skin cancer, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common malignant tumor. If the tumor reaches the bone in later stages, finger amputation may be necessary. Early detection and prompt medical attention are recommended for any abnormalities in the nails to prevent severe outcomes.
