A year and a half ago, I had a spot on the bridge of my nose biopsied, and diagnosed as "squamous in situ, extending to deep tissue edge". I never took action on it, for various reasons, and the surface skin where biopsied is fully healed and healthy. Haven't had any sypmptoms and you can barely see where it was biopsied. The same thing happened with a spot biopsied on my back, diagnosed as " superficial and nodular basal cell, extending to peripheral tissue edge. "
Could there still be cancer underneath, or can I assume it's now gone? It will be challenging now to even see where to take further steps.
Also, some evenings, my nose on both sides of the bridge does get itchy, for no apparent reason. Could that be a squamous cc symptom?
Thank you!

If it was cancerous, the biopsy would have shown that.
But it can still develop later.

Thanks for replying! Yes, the biopsy result said "squamous carcinoma in situ, extending to deep tissue edge". My question is whether it could be underneath the healed skin. It has been a year and a half with no symptoms. Just perfectly healed skin where the biopsy was. I don't really want to take further unnecessary measures.
