Can tiny flat pale red spot on face, only be a basal cell carcinoma? no bleed, no pit, at times some tiny flaky edges. are there other possibilities?

Yes: Better see a dermatologist, hard to commit to a diagnosis, even provisionally, without good history, physical examination and possible biopsy, take care
