Basal Cell Carcinomas
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for approximately 80% of all skin cancer cases. It is caused by sun exposure and appears as a small, raised, skin-coloured bump or patch with a stern and slightly rolled edge. BCCs may look like a scab, an open sore, a reddish patch, or a scar, and they can grow larger over time. Left untreated, they can cause damage to the skin and surrounding tissue, and in rare cases, they may spread to other parts of the body. Treatment for BCC usually involves surgery, radiation therapy, or topical medications. Early detection and appropriate treatment are key to preventing BCC from spreading and causing serious harm.
