Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal Cell Carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that occurs in the basal layer of the epidermis. It is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting millions of people worldwide each year. It is caused by genetic mutations from excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds, and can result in the formation of lesions and tumours. Treatment options for Basal Cell Carcinoma include topical creams, cryosurgery, radiation therapy and excision. If left untreated it can cause significant damage to the skin, which can lead to disfigurement. Early detection and appropriate treatment is essential to ensure a successful outcome.
