What is it?

Basal cell carcinoma is not only the most common type of skin cancer but also the most frequently diagnosed cancer overall. It originates in the basal cells, which produce new skin cells. This type of carcinoma typically appears as a lump on the skin's surface that can be skin-colored, brown, black or blue. While people of all skin tones can develop this cancer, those with fair skin, inadequate sun protection, or frequent tanning bed use are at higher risk. It primarily affects sun-exposed areas like the head and neck, tends to progress slowly, and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. Additionally, it is usually curable with minimal scarring if treated promptly.

How is it treated?

When identified early, the majority of basal cell carcinomas can be successfully treated and cured, posing no major threat to life. A common sign of basal cell carcinoma is a persistent, slow-growing lesion on the skin that may occasionally bleed. Our team of board-certified dermatologists provides various treatment options, including topical medications, Mohs surgery, excisional surgery, cryosurgery and laser therapy. Additionally, our team recommends annual skin checks for the early diagnosis of skin cancers. Schedule an appointment with one of our providers at Chapel Hill Dermatology for diagnosis and treatment.
