Explanation

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It develops in the basal cells, which are located in the deepest layer of the epidermis. Basal cell carcinoma usually appears as a raised, waxy bump or a flat, scaly lesion with a pearly or translucent appearance. It rarely metastasizes or spreads to other parts of the body, but it can invade nearby tissue and cause significant damage if left untreated.
