Did you know that about 3.6 million cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are diagnosed in the U.S. every year?
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It typically develops on areas of the skin that receive frequent sun exposure, including the face, ears, neck, and scalp.
While BCC usually grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body, it can cause significant local damage if left untreated.
In this carousel, we’re breaking down what basal cell carcinoma is, what it can look like, and what signs to look out for.
If you notice a new or changing spot, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a skin lesion that keeps coming back, it’s worth having it evaluated by a dermatologist.
Regular skin checks with a dermatologist can help identify suspicious or changing spots early. Don’t wait to have a spot checked if something looks or feels different.
