Medical dermatology
Basal Cell Carcinoma
The most common skin cancer — treated with excision, Mohs surgery, or topical therapy depending on type, size, and location.
What BCC looks like
A pearly bump, pink patch, sore that won't heal, or scar-like area — often on sun-exposed skin.
Why Mohs for the face
Mohs preserves the maximum amount of healthy tissue while ensuring complete cancer removal — ideal for BCC on the nose, eyelids, lips, and ears.
