What is it?

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. In fact, it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer of all types. Basal cell carcinoma originates from the basal cells of the skin, which play a crucial role in generating new cells. These basal cells, responsible for skin renewal, lead to basal cell carcinoma, often presenting as a skin-colored, brown, black, or blue lump on the skin's surface. This cancer can develop across all skin tones, but the risk is highest for people with fair skin, inadequate sun protection practices, or frequent tanning bed usage. Basal cell carcinoma is most common on areas like the head and neck which are exposed to the sun. The cancer typically progresses at a slow rate and rarely metastasizes (the term for spreading to other types of tissue). Fortunately, basal cell carcinoma is treatable with minimal scarring, especially when found early.

How is it treated?

When diagnosed early, most basal cell carcinomas can be treated and cured, without any notable threat to life. A common sign of basal cell carcinoma is a lasting, slow-growing lesion on the skin. Some patients find that these lesions periodically bleed. Our team of board-certified dermatologists are experts at diagnosing and treating basal cell carcinoma. We offer treatments including topical medications, excisional surgery, cryosurgery, Mohs surgery and laser therapy. If you see a concerning spot, schedule an appointment with one of our providers in Clarkston or Oxford, Michigan today.
