Not : Not sure what the question is but basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer seen and it is very common in whites mostly in sun-exposed areas. It is typically easily cured with local removal. Make sure you follow up with your surgeon to find out if was all removed or if he needs to take more skin.

Basal cell cancer: If you had basal cell carcinoma and it was removed with the surgery you probably don't require any further treatment. If there were positive margins, you should have the lesion completely removed.
