A change in the skin might be the first sign of the presence of basal cancer cells. The changes may include a bump or sore that won’t heal. The following can be a few symptoms of the disease:
A translucent skin-colored bump: The bump can be either white or pink on fair skin, while the bump generally looks brown or shiny black on dark skin. You also might be able to see blood vessels. Sometimes, the bump may bleed.
Lesions: A brown, black, or blue lesion can appear with a slightly raised translucent border.
Flat and scaly spots: Such patches can be seen with raised edges. Also, they can grow quite large over a period of time.
Scar-like lesion: A whitish scar-like lesion without any proper border can also be an essential sign of basal cell carcinoma.
