Basal Cell Carcinoma
Is commonly seen in people with fair skin, light hair, and green, blue, or grey eyes although it may also affect dark skinned people. It is a slow growing type of cancer that is usually confined to one area of the body. It is also detected easily, thus increasing its chances of getting cured by 95 percent.
The five symptoms of basal cell carcinoma:
1. An open sore that bleeds, oozes, or crusts and remains open for more than three weeks.
2. A reddish patch on chest, arms, shoulders, or legs. May itch or hurt, or may not.
3. A shiny bump or nodule that's translucent. Can be any color, from white. pink, or red to tan, black, or brown. May be confused with a mole
4. A pink growth with a slightly elevated rolled border. Has a crusty center indentation. Tiny blood vessels may develop on the surface.
5. A scarlike area with poorly defined borders. Color is white, yellow or waxy.
