Symptoms
Basal Cell Carcinomas present as a firm nodule, clearly growing within the skin and below it, rather than on the surface.
Color varies from that of normal skin to dark brown or black, but there is a characteristic "pearly white" translucent quality on the periphery.
Characteristic "rolled edge". Once the basal cells have invaded the deeper tissues the rolled edge disappears.
When BCCs occur at sites other than the face and neck they are usually just red, flat, scaling areas. Thus, superficial BCCs can often be confused with a patch of eczema.
