  1. Imperative Considerations After Diagnosed With Basal Cell Carcinoma Basal or squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. It begins in the basal cells- a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin as old ones die off. With early detection and treatment, almost all basal cell carcinoma(s) can be successfully removed without any complications. You just have to be proactive and if you see any change or unusual skin growths, consult with your dermatologist. Here are some of the tips for people with facial skin cancer need to know before they seek care: 1. Identify the type of skin cancer you are diagnosed with The majority of people are diagnosed with two types of skin cancer- either basal cell carcinomaor squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cells grow quite slowly, which means you have enough time to visit the doctor. But, if you are diagnosed with squamous cells, then you must consult your dermatologist as soon as possible, as these cancerous cells grow very rapidly. 2. Take a second option on pathology Sometimes there are some instances occurred when the cancer cells look unusual or the pathology is inconclusive for some other reason. In such a situation, it is better to take a second opinion from your pathology to get a clear picture. 3. Consult with a fellowship-trained dermatologic surgeon I know it sounds like a no-brainer, but when it comes to skincare treatment, you are better off beginning your care with a board-certified dermatologist, rather than go right to a plastic surgeon. 4. Ask about your skincare treatment options Amongst the most common treatments for a basal or squamous cell is surgery. This process involves removing cancer in thin layers. This approach helps protect surrounding healthy tissue and has a very high cure rate.
