Basal cell carcinoma begins in the basal cells — a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells as old ones die off.
Basal cell carcinoma often appears as a slightly transparent bump on the skin, though it can take other forms. Basal cell carcinoma occurs most often on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as your head/ face and neck.
In our case patient has it at his left arm closer to elbow.
BCC most often occurs when DNA damage from exposure to ultraviolet ( UV ) radiations from the sun or indoor tanning triggers changes in basal cells in the outermost layer of skin (epidermis), resulting in uncontrolled growth.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer and the most frequently occurring form of all cancers.
Because BCCs grow slowly, most are curable and cause minimal damage when caught and treated early. Understanding BCC causes, risk factors and warning signs can help you detect them early, when they are easiest to treat and cure.
