Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that starts in the basal cells, which are found in the outer layer of the skin. It typically develops on sun-exposed areas, such as the face and neck. BCC is usually slow-growing and rarely spreads to other parts of the body, making it less dangerous than some other cancers. However, if left untreated, it can cause local damage to the skin and surrounding tissues. Early detection and treatment are important and often involve methods like surgery, topical treatments, or other therapies to remove the cancer.
