About Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Treatment
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, caused by prolonged sun exposure or UV radiation. While it rarely spreads to other parts of the body, it can damage skin tissues and leave noticeable scars if left untreated.
At Paras Health, our team of oncologists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons offer comprehensive care for BCC – using the latest techniques such as Mohs surgery, laser excision, topical therapy, and reconstructive procedures.
We treat both early-stage basal cell carcinoma and advanced BCC, providing personalized treatment plans based on the lesion's location, size, and depth.

What is Basal Cell Carcinoma?
Basal cell carcinoma is a non-melanoma skin cancer that starts in the basal cells of the skin’s outer layer. It usually appears as a:
-
Pearly or flesh-colored bump
-
Scaly red patch
-
Open sore that doesn’t heal
Commonly seen on the face, neck, and ears, BCC grows slowly but can cause significant disfigurement if untreated.
Common Causes and Risk Factors of BCC
-
Long-term sun exposure or tanning beds
-
Fair skin that burns easily
-
History of frequent sunburns
-
Age over 50
-
Prior radiation therapy or weakened immune system
-
Personal or family history of skin cancer
Basal Cell Carcinoma Treatment Options at Paras Health
Mohs Surgery (Gold Standard for BCC Removal)
A precise, layer-by-layer surgical technique that removes cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue. Highly effective for facial BCC or cosmetically sensitive areas.
Excisional Surgery
A simple surgical procedure where the tumor and surrounding tissue are removed. Ideal for low-risk tumors on the body.
Topical Treatments
Medicated creams (like imiquimod or 5-FU) prescribed for superficial BCCs. Non-invasive and useful for patients unable to undergo surgery.
Laser Treatment for BCC
Used for small, superficial basal cell carcinomas. Laser ablation targets abnormal cells with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
Radiation Therapy
Recommended for patients who are not surgical candidates or for tumors in difficult-to-operate areas. Safe and effective, especially in older adults.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
A light-based treatment where a special drug is applied to the skin and activated by light to destroy cancer cells.
Reconstructive Surgery
Post-removal, our plastic surgeons can perform scar revision or skin grafting to restore appearance and functionality.
