What are the early signs and symptoms of Basal Cell Carcinoma?
Common symptoms of Basal Cell Carcinoma include a shiny or translucent bump, a sore that won’t heal, a red or irritated patch, or a scar-like area that appears without injury. BCC most often develops on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and hands. If you notice any persistent or changing skin lesions, it’s important to have them evaluated by a dermatologist.
How is Basal Cell Carcinoma diagnosed?
Basal Cell Carcinoma is diagnosed through a skin examination and confirmed with a biopsy, where a small sample of skin is analysed under a microscope. Early detection allows for more effective and minimally invasive treatment options, reducing the risk of recurrence and scarring.
What are the treatment options for Basal Cell Carcinoma?
Treatment options for BCC depend on the size, type and location of the tumor. Common treatments include surgical excision, Mohs micrographic surgery, cryotherapy, topical medications and radiation therapy for certain cases. Your dermatologist will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your condition.
Rodent Ulcer vs Basal Cell Carcinoma
A rodent ulcer is an ulcerating form of basal cell carcinoma - both refer to the same type of skin cancer, but “rodent ulcer” is an older term still used in some regions (especially the UK).
When should I get a skin lesion checked?
You should have any skin lesion checked by a dermatologist as soon as you notice changes such as:
- A new bump, sore, or patch that doesn’t heal within a few weeks.
- A spot that bleeds, crusts, or scabs repeatedly.
- A mole or patch that changes in color, shape, or texture.
- An area of skin that feels tender, itchy, or develops a small ulcer.
Early evaluation is crucial because Basal Cell Carcinoma grows slowly but can cause local damage if ignored. Most cases are easily treated when detected early, often with simple outpatient procedures.
