How To Spot It

  • Basal cell carcinoma often looks like a sore or wound that will not heal
  • or a raised growth that may scab over
  • It is common for small blood vessels to appear on the surface of the growth
  • Basal cell cancer often appears darker or more pigmented, rather than pink, when found on more melanin rich skin.
  • Should you spot anything that looks like this, see a dermatologist, immediately.
