Basal Cell Carcinoma
BCCs are the commonest cancer in Australia. They may arise on any part of the body, and are seen commonly on the head and neck. They may appear as a pearly lump or a red scaly patch and have a tendency to bleed with minimal trauma. They usually grow slowly and may appear as an unhealing sore. BCCs have a low potential to spread to other parts of the body and it is less common for them to be fatal.
