What does Basal Cell Carcinoma look like?
Basal cell cancer frequently appears on areas exposed to the sun such as the chest, back, legs, face, scalp, and ears. These tumors can have many different forms. Usually, the appearance of basal cell cancer is in the form of a small dome-shaped bump that has a milky white color. Blood vessels may be observed on the surface. Sometimes, a basal cell cancer will appear as a pimple-like growth that heals, only to come back again and again. The most common sign of basal cell cancer is a sore that bleeds, heals, and then recurs again and again.
