Common Skin Conditions

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma (or BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It generally arises in sun-exposed areas of skin. BCC is the least aggressive type of skin cancer for two reasons. It is very slow growing and it typically does not spread beyond the skin (does not metastasize). A BCC can appear as a pearly, pink bump that slowly enlarges or bleeds. Like any other skin cancer, a BCC does not heal on its own. It can be disfiguring if not treated. It is usually treated by an outpatient surgical procedure by your dermatologist.
