Does badal cell carcinoma itch?

Dr. Richard Mcgee answered

Specializes in Medical Oncology

Not usually: Basal cell is usually a painless pearly appearing nodule in sun exposed areas of skin. It can get very big and produce an ulcer in the center. The sooner it is diagnosed and removed the better.
