Brief Answer:
Skin biopsy to rule out SCC

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the image.

I can see a rough looking raised lesion on
left temple and a few smaller raised satellite lesions. There is background photo damage.

I suggest a Skin biopsy. It can possibly be a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Regards
