Basal Cell Carcinoma 🔍
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCCs) are by far the most common skin cancer that I diagnose.
They are slow growing and often appear as flesh coloured bumps, with smooth ‘pearl’ like borders. They occur in areas of sun exposure (this is their direct cause). Any ‘sore’ on the skin that is not healing especially in an area that is exposed to sun, must be examined.
BCCs are most commonly local and once excised cause no further problems. That said one must catch these guys early to ensure this outcome.
Common places for BCCs are nose, ears and chest.
If you are concerned about any new skin lesion that is not healing then please come and see me 🤍
