Overview

The history and symptoms of basal cell carcinoma include skin growths on sun-exposed skin. They are fragile and may bleed easily.

Basal Cell Carcinoma History and Symptoms

Basal cell carcinoma develops on areas that are exposed to the sun, particularly the head and neck. These tumors are fragile and may bleed easily.

The appearance of these tumors can be any of the following:

  • Flat, firm, pale/yellow areas
  • Raised reddish patches that may be itchy
  • Small, pink/red, translucent, shiny, pearly bumps, which might have blue, brown, or black areas
  • Pink growths with raised edges and a lower area in their center
  • Open sores that don’t heal, or that heal and reappear
