Stay out of sun!: Or use a sunscreen with an spf over 15 always! the ultraviolet damage is cumulative, so the damage to your exposed skin lasts a lifetime--look at the neckline area compared to the covered breast skin in an older man or woman! if you have a bcc it must be removed, but rarely spreads or kills (unless irritated or ignored). See a plastic surgeon, not a non-surgeon.

Basal : Basal cell carcinoma is highly curable and rarely spreads beyond the skin to other organs . If you suspect skin cancer see a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment . Sun protection will help reduce the likelihood of future basal cell carcinoma development.
