What Is Basal Cell Carcinoma?

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of skin cancer. It begins in the basal cells, a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells as old ones die off. It is also called rodent cancer, and is considered a common form of skin cancer. BCC makes up almost 75% of all skin cancers.

In individuals with lighter skin tones, basal cell carcinoma commonly presents as a bump with a color resembling the skin, often appearing skin-colored or pink. On the other hand, for individuals with brown or Black skin, basal cell carcinoma tends to manifest as a bump with a brown or glossy black hue, often accompanied by a distinctive rolled border. BCC does not transfer to another part of the skin it’s considered slow-growing.
