What is basal cell carcinoma?
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It mostly appears as a translucent bump on the skin but it can also have other manifestations. It mostly develops on the part of the face that is most exposed to sunlight and UV rays. However, they grow slowly, which means that most cases are treatable if caught at an early stage.
