SKIN CANCER · TYPES OF SKIN CANCER

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, and one of the most treatable when caught early. Our board-certified dermatologists are here to help you understand your diagnosis and take the right next step.

AAD - Basal Cell Carcinoma - Banner copy

What Is Basal Cell Carcinoma?

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of skin cancer that develops in the basal cells, which are found in the deepest layer of the epidermis, the outermost layer of your skin. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States, accounting for the majority of all skin cancer cases each year.

BCC most commonly appears on areas of the skin that receive regular sun exposure, such as the face, head, neck, and hands. It tends to grow slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. However, that does not mean it can be ignored. Left untreated, BCC can grow deeper into the skin, damaging surrounding tissue and becoming significantly harder to treat.

The good news: when detected early, basal cell carcinoma is highly treatable. At Anne Arundel Dermatology, our experienced dermatologists and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons are equipped to diagnose and treat BCC at any stage, using the approach that is most appropriate for your specific case.

Causes
UV Exposure
Repeated sun exposure is the primary driver of BCC.
Tanning Beds
Artificial UV sources significantly increase skin cancer risk.
History of Sunburns
Blistering burns, especially early in life, raise lifetime risk.
Age
Cumulative sun damage makes BCC more common over time.
Family or Personal History
Prior skin cancer or a family history increases your risk.
Symptoms
Pearly or Waxy Bump
Often appears on the face, ears, or neck.
Flat, Flesh-Colored Lesion
May resemble a scar on the chest or back.
Bleeding or Crusting Sore
A wound that heals and then reopens is a warning sign.
Pink Growth With Raised Edges
May have a crusted center or rolled border.
Brown or Black Pigmented Patch
Occasionally appears darker, particularly in people with darker skin tones.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

How Is Basal Cell Carcinoma Treated?

Treatment depends on the size, location, and depth of the lesion, as well as your overall health. Our providers will recommend the approach that offers the best outcome with the least impact on surrounding tissue.

MOHs Surgery copy

Mohs Surgery

The gold standard for BCC on the face, ears, and other high-risk areas. Mohs surgery removes cancerous tissue layer by layer, preserving as much healthy skin as possible with the highest cure rates available.
Learn More
Surgical Excision copy

Surgical Excision

The affected tissue and a margin of surrounding skin are surgically removed and sent for pathology review to confirm complete removal.
Learn More
Cryosurgery-2 copy

Cryosurgery

Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and destroy superficial BCC lesions, typically in low-risk cases.
Learn More
Destruction (Curettage and Electrodesiccation) copy

Destruction (Curettage and Electrodesiccation)

The lesion is scraped away and treated with an electric current to destroy remaining cancer cells. Best suited for smaller, lower-risk basal cell carcinomas.
Learn More
Topical Chemotherapy copy

Topical Chemotherapy

Prescription creams such as imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil may be used for superficial BCC lesions that are not candidates for surgery.
Learn More
Photodynamic Therapy copy

Photodynamic Therapy

A light-activated medication is applied to the skin and then exposed to a specific wavelength of light to destroy cancer cells, often used for superficial lesions.

Yesterday (6/18/24) i was treated by Aubrey and had a great time. I've been a client for almost 15 years, for a pretty wide variety of services, and it's always been an excellent experience. Despite Dr. McDaniel's own retirement, I appreciate the PA's and nurse's medical expertise in diagnosis: I fully trust Tania's and Kelly's competence in performing procedures. Aubrey did a great job, very professional and caring! It's a beautiful, relaxing place with straight-up medical treatment rooms. And everyone is so kind and friendly--thanks, Jenna, Victoria and Kelli! Just signed up for a weekly series, so I'll be seeing you all summer long. PS, excellent parking situation. The connected garage is free and you don't have to go outside.

He took his time explaining everything to me and described every type of freckle or mole or sun damage he found. I did not feel rushed and he answered every question I had.

See Ashley Pierson! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Walking into a dermatologist’s office for a second opinion on a cancer diagnosis from another dermatologist, I was understandably nervous. From the moment I walked through the door, everyone—from the front office staff to Ashley Pierson, PA—was absolutely wonderful. Ashley was kind, compassionate, thorough, and made me feel comfortable during what was a very stressful visit. That kind of care means more than people realize. My daughter was with me for the appointment and was so impressed with Ashley that she made an appointment for herself before we left! Needless to say, you have gained two loyal patients. We will both be coming here for our dermatology care going forward. Thank you, Ashley, and the entire staff for treating us with such kindness and providing such a great experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough great things about this practice! After several disappointing experiences with other dermatologists, finding this office has been such a relief. This is easily one of the best dermatology practices I’ve ever been to. The front staff is on top of their game and are genuinely helpful as well. That’s a rare combination to find and makes it so easy to get appointments scheduled or get information after your visit. The entire team is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. They took the time to listen and didn’t dismiss my concerns. As someone with multiple skin issues that require ongoing dermatology care, that level of compassion and attention means everything. A special thank you to Lina Weber and Young Lee. They’ve both been absolutely wonderful, kind, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every appointment has been a positive experience, and I always leave feeling heard and confident in my treatment plan. If you’re looking for a dermatologist who truly listens and provides exceptional care, I highly recommend this practice!

Best woman of color dermatologist there is! Hands down! I started struggling with acne again in my 30s, and I’ve been seeing Dr. Boswell for about two years now. One thing I’ve learned is that acne treatment is not one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for another. It took some time, patience, and trial and error for us to figure out what worked best for my skin, but we finally got there! I can proudly say I have ZERO bumps on my face, and we’re now working on my hyperpigmentation! I absolutely love this office! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming.

Needless to say, no one looks forward to MOHS surgery - especially on their face. That being said, the team here was superb, from the Surgical Techs to the Doctors themselves. I like the fact that the team is largely made up of veterans who have been forward deployed in combat conditions. Dr. Dolan was professional, calm and clearly cared about my outcome. Everything was explained step by step, including post op instructions. Finally, they were very responsive to my follow up questions submitted by text. Highly recommend this practice. I especially appreciate the check in after my procedure to see how I was doing.

Great service and treatment from start to finish. I had not been in for 7 years and it took less than 30 minutes to check in / update all my info, get called back, discuss 3 conditions with the nurse, see Dr. BLAZER and get... prescriptions sent for one, a follow up scheduled to get a cyst cut off next week, and get a small wart frozen off....and check out and walk out the door. Dr Blazer had seen me several times years ago and offered multiple treatment options to me which I quickly decided on for all 3 things. I appreciate that they value my time as much as I do. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable as a cash patient. The follow up was easy to schedule and within 3 business days of todays appointment. Could not ask for better service.

My husband and I had CO2 laser done by Sharnel Reed, NP, and I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience We were both nervous going in especially my husband, who wasn’t convinced laser would be effective for men\. I’ve also had microneedling, chemical peels, and laser in the past, so I was worried this would be another disappointing experience. But Sharnel completely changed our minds,She was gentle, thorough, made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to educate us about our individual skin, concerns, and how to safely get the best results.The entire experience was a **360° turnaround from what we expected My husband was so impressed he said, I won’t let another woman touch my face if it’s not her,That says it all. Sharnel is absolutely amazing, and we definitely won’t be going to anyone else. We can’t wait to see our final results! 10/10 experience ❤️✨

ADDRESSING TOP SKIN CANCER CONCERNS

Your Basal Cell Carcinoma Questions, Answered

BCC can appear as a pearly or waxy bump, a flat flesh-colored or brown lesion, or a bleeding sore that heals and reopens. It most often shows up on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and hands. When in doubt, have any unusual or changing spots evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist.

BCC rarely spreads to other parts of the body, but it can grow deeper into surrounding tissue if left untreated. Caught early, it is highly treatable. That is why annual skin checks and prompt evaluation of any new or changing spots are so important.

It depends on the lesion's size, location, and depth. For BCC on the face or other cosmetically sensitive areas, Mohs surgery is generally considered the gold standard because it removes only the cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate treatment after a thorough evaluation.

Mohs micrographic surgery is a precise surgical technique in which thin layers of skin are removed and examined under a microscope until no cancer cells remain. It offers the highest cure rates for BCC (up to 99% for primary tumors) while minimizing the removal of healthy tissue.

Not always. Some superficial BCCs can be treated with topical medications, cryosurgery, or photodynamic therapy. Surgical options like Mohs or excision are typically recommended for larger lesions or those in high-risk locations. Your dermatologist will walk you through the options that make sense for your specific case.

Yes, it is possible for BCC to recur after treatment, which is why ongoing monitoring is important. Patients with a history of BCC also have an increased risk of developing new skin cancers in the future. We recommend regular skin checks and sun protection as part of your long-term skin health plan.

Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the wound. Many patients return to normal activities within a few days. Your care team will provide detailed post-surgery instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary skin cancer treatment. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly. Our team can also help answer questions about your coverage at the time of your appointment.
