How Can A Tender Lump On The Tibia Be Treated?

I have (I think) a squamous cell carcinoma on my tibia, its small, perhaps less than a quarter inch, red, very painful I cant let it touch anything. I had my drs advice to put a cream for a few weeks on it, a steriod cream. that did nothng. It doesnt ooze or crust over but it hurts a lot if touched or touches an aritcle of clothing, I keep it bandaged. today my dr. took a biopsy scraping some from top after she applied lidocaine on. Now Iam wondering how serious this is if it turns out to be squamous cell. I will get results in about a week
