Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma, a commonly occurring form of non-melanoma skin cancer, arises from basal cells and usually presents as a flesh-colored, pigmented, or pinkish bump.

What is it?

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a prevalent type of skin cancer, often resulting from extended sun exposure or the use of tanning beds. It originates in the basal cells located in the skin's bottom layer. Typically, BCC manifests as a slow-developing, painless growth on sun-exposed regions such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders or back. Although generally non-aggressive and slow in development, BCC can lead to significant local damage and disfigurement if not addressed. Since it seldom spreads, or metastasizes, to other body parts, its primary impact is on quality of life rather than longevity.


Our dermatologists are critical in the detection, treatment and control of basal cell carcinoma. Early identification through regular skin screenings can aid in recognizing BCC in its early stages and treating it more successfully. Dermatologists might use a range of methods to identify BCC, including physical examination, dermoscopy and skin biopsy. The treatment selection depends on various factors such as the size, location and subtype of BCC. Surgical procedures can vary to excise the cancerous cells, including topical treatments, radiation or even oral medications for more complex cases. Moreover, our dermatologists provide essential guidance on preventative steps for BCC, encompassing sufficient sun protection and routine skin self-examinations.


How is it treated?

Quick identification greatly increases the chances of successfully treating and curing basal cell carcinomas, which are generally not life-threatening when caught early. Characterized by persistent, slowly developing skin lesions that may bleed and resist healing, basal cell carcinoma demands prompt attention. Our team of board-certified dermatologists provides a wide range of treatment options, such as topical medications, Mohs surgery, excisional surgery, cryosurgery and laser therapy; all individually tailored to effectively eliminate this condition.
