What is Basal Cell Carcinoma?

Basal Cell Carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that affects the cells that line the epidermis or outermost layer of skin. As the most common form of skin cancer in the country, Basal Cell Carcinoma is said to be diagnosed in approximately four million cases each year. Basal Cell Carcinoma typically appears as tumors on the ears, scalp, face, neck, and arms. While Basal Cell Carcinoma typically does not spread or metastasize, it may worsen and cause disfigurement if left untreated.

What Causes Basal Cell Carcinoma?

When our patients think of skin cancer, they typically think of overexposure to UV light and the sun’s harmful rays. The appearance of Basal Cell Carcinoma is no different. Patients who have light skin, and light features, burn easily, spend long periods in the sun, and/or have a family history of skin cancer are at a higher risk of developing Basal Cell Carcinoma in the future. To learn more about how you can better prevent skin cancer, we encourage you to come in and see Dr. Siddiqui for a one-on-one consultation.

How Do I Know if I Have Basal Cell Carcinoma?

Basal Cell Carcinoma may look drastically different in one patient versus another. Common signs of Basal Cell Carcinoma include:

A dark brown, blue, or black lesion that’s raised at the edges.
A flat, scaly patch of skin that’s red in color.
A bump on the skin that appears white or skin-colored.

If you believe you may have Basal Cell Carcinoma, we encourage you to come in and see Dr. Siddiqui for a private consultation at your earliest convenience. She’ll be happy to evaluate your skin and develop a treatment plan for you based on your diagnosis.

How is Basal Cell Carcinoma Treated?

Because everyone’s skin is different, each Basal Cell Carcinoma treatment will be tailored to the patient. Your Basal Cell Carcinoma treatments may include excision of the lesion. During your private consultation, Dr. Siddiqui will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you address your Basal Cell Carcinoma and achieve the beautiful, healthy skin you deserve.

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”

“This was my first time here and my first time getting Botox and let me tell you Dr. Mani and her team is amazing. Coming into it I was extremely nervous bc I’ve never gotten any non surgical procedures done before so I didn’t know what to expect. But when Dr Mani and her team came in I got extremely calm and ready and let me tell you she is amazing and super quick! Didn’t feel a pinch!”
