What is Bowen's Disease?

Bowen's disease, also known as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, is a rare skin condition that primarily affects the outermost layer of the skin. This condition is characterized by the presence of precancerous cells, which have the potential to develop into invasive skin cancer if left untreated.

Bowen's disease is named after John T. Bowen, an American dermatologist who first described this condition in 1912.
