Hi! My mom suffers from this disease, so I did a lot of research oh the topic. I am no medical student or anything I just did some reading on this topic because of my mom’s condition.
My mom has just experienced relapse. She has open wound now and they are applying some dressings on these wounds.

As for your question of malignancy……yes, it is possible. Development of squamous cell carcinoma represents one of the possible complications and is considered as a disease progress. This is what we have been told.

There is a possibility of verrucous carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and they usually occur in the anogenital region.

I hope I helped you a little bit.
