With such a common cancer and potential for such life altering results I dont understand the cavalier attitude of so many doctors, especially when the BCC is on the nostril or around the eyes. Your information has been most helpful to me, Thank You.

Thank you. I've recently been treated for basil cell carcinoma. You explained it far better than 3 doctors and all the literature I've read. I am relieved I caught it early. Thanks again.

Thanks doctor, I'm a mechanical engineer in Scotland, but just had Mohs surgery to remove a nodular bcc from between my nose and eye - what I have now learned is a classic presentation thanks to your video. Hopefully I'll get the all clear from the biopsy, but I found this video very interesting from a patient perspective. Many thanks!

I have just been diagnosed for the second time with BCC. Had it a decade ago at the age of 37. I had ask my GP to refer me to a dermatologist cause I felt I needed to be checked, I have many many moles. Yep, BCC spot on my jawline. It was a fleshy little bump.Off to the Mohs clinic I went. I was going for regular checks after that, then the derm said I only needed to come in if I see anything suspect from then on. 5 years go by. I noticed a shiny little spot that was hard and it would itch and crust over this summer. Asked to be referred back by my GP because I suspected it was BCC again. And not one spot, but another tiny spot on the other cheek too. Both extremely small. So I will be going for mohs again. Lucky me! At least there are treatments to reduce scars, and it’s not melanoma. I feel like a BCC expert at this point since I know the signs so well now.

Good luck to you. Have you found and used a successful treatment for reducing the surgical scar appearance?

I was also very relieved when my results came back and it was not melanoma. It was actually flat pigmented basal cell carcinoma caught very early.

I cant find out what 'caught early' is time wise? mine has been a year and a half (a dermatologist didnt catch it a year ago) it is the size of a quarter and doesnt look good, im getting mohs in a couple of weeks. it is a definite match to superficial spreading

When it comes to a diagnosis of superficial spreading BBC or micronodular and “skipped lesions”; would treatment with IG-SRT be a better option than Mohs, given that the IG-SRT can somewhat saturate and area, and in theory destroy skipped lesions that may be outside of a clear Mohs margin? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Question 🙋♀️ Is it typical for lesions to spread fairly quickly around the skin areas? Within weeks- 1-2 months time? 🤔 💭

Roughly what percentage of squamous cell carcinomas are invasive or likely to spread? I know bccs are basically superficial and that squamous has the potential to spread,,,, but still relatively rare?

I'm so sorry to hear this! It's really impossible to say what caused it. It could be a genetic problem (gene mutations) which made you susceptible to UV radiation from the sun, sunscreen notwithstanding. You're probably just one of the unlucky ones who would've got this eventually anyway. Hopefully you caught it early! At least BC is not incredibly metastatic, like malignant melanoma is. It's very treatable as long as you caught it early and even if you didn't, it still very treatable. Good luck!

What are your thoughts about punch and scrape biopsy lab results (2) resulting Positive, then following removal with minor surgery, the removed areas sent to lab show Negative (no basal cell)? Excellent presentations! Thanks.

Thank You and consider the true explanation of atmospheric chemistry - A diminishing molecular oxygen atmosphere is allowing more ultraviolet energy to reach the Earth's surface where it becomes light and then heat.

Some of the photos I thought were after surgery but I think you said that’s how it could look if left untreated? The ear one with the missing tissue? Was that after surgery or before?
