About This Condition

About basal cell cancer

Basal cell cancer is a type of skin cancer that usually develops on sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, arms, or shoulders. It is often slow-growing, but it can still damage surrounding skin and tissue if left untreated.

Treatment usually involves surgically removing the cancerous area. Dr. Talbert chooses the approach based on the size, location, depth, and pathology results.
