Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer that occurs in individuals of African and Indian-Asian descent. It is the second most common skin cancer in Caucasians, Latinos, and the remainder of the Asian population that includes nationalities such as Chinese and Japanese.

Risk factors for patients with skin of color include chronic scarring inflammation from burns, leg ulcers, radiation, lupus, immunosuppression, and human papillomavirus.

Squamous cell carcinoma in skin of color is most common on areas infrequently exposed to the sun (i.e., legs or mucosal areas).
