Overview
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer and develops in the basal cells of the skin. It usually occurs in areas exposed to sunlight such as the face, neck, scalp, and arms. Basal cell carcinoma grows slowly and is highly treatable when detected early.
Symptoms
Basal cell carcinoma may appear as a shiny or pearly bump, a non-healing sore, a reddish patch, a scar-like lesion, or a growth with raised edges. The lesion may bleed, crust, or recur after healing.
Risk Factors
Risk factors include prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or tanning beds, fair skin, increasing age, history of sunburns, excessive outdoor work, radiation exposure, and a family history of skin cancer.
