Please note: Since not all BCCs have the same appearance, these images serve as a general reference to what basal cell carcinoma looks like. A small pink growth with a slightly raised, rolled edge and a crusted indentation in the center
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) develops when basal cells begin to grow out of control. Basal cells are found in the top layer of skin, called the epidermis. 1 BCC grows slowly, and it rarely spreads to distant parts of the body. However, it must be treated. Untreated BCC can grow into bone or the tissue beneath the skin. 1
