What Are the Treatments for Basal Cell Cancer?
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer and is easily treated if caught early. It may appear as a pearly or waxy, light pink, flesh-colored or brown skin growth, according to Medline Plus. A dermatologist takes a biopsy of the mole or growth, which is examined under a microscope. If the cancer is found, there are several treatments used to remove basal cell carcinomas, depending on the size, depth and location.
