Can Estrogen Cause Keratosis Atypia/surface Cell Squamous Cell Skin Cancer?
My pathology report for seborrheic or actinic keratosis on my face had a mixed conclusion of keratosis atypia/surface cell squamous cell skin cancer. I have been using estrogen since 2007 for vaginal atrophy. Can 10mcg of estrogen cause this? I am fair skinned and have had sunburns over my 63 years

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have keratosis with atypia or squamous cell carcinoma. It has no relation with your estrogen therapy. It is not responsible for squamous cell carcinoma on face. SO don't worry about that. Confirm your diagnosis and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
