Have you noticed a small bump or sore that does not heal? Basal cell carcinoma is a common skin cancer that should be evaluated by a dermatology provider.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. It develops in the basal cells of the skin and usually appears on sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, and arms. It grows slowly but should be treated to prevent damage to surrounding tissue.
