Basal cell carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer, often caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds.
It typically appears as a slightly transparent bump on the skin, though it can take other forms.
BCCs are most frequently found on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders, and back.
While BCCs rarely spread to other parts of the body, they can grow and invade surrounding tissues if left untreated, leading to disfigurement.
Symptoms of Basal Cell Carcinoma include open sores that bleed, ooze, or crust and remain open for several weeks, reddish patches or irritated areas, shiny bumps or nodules, pink growths with raised edges, and scar-like areas that are white, yellow, or waxy.
It's crucial to pay attention to any new, changing, or unusual skin growths, as early detection and treatment are key to preventing extensive damage.
If you notice any of these symptoms or have concerns about a suspicious skin lesion, it's important to seek medical advice promptly.
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the carcinoma from becoming more serious.
