Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, typically appearing as a pearly or waxy bump on sun-exposed areas. While rarely life-threatening, early detection and professional treatment are essential to prevent tissue damage and achieve optimal cosmetic outcomes. Our specialists provide comprehensive BCC care with advanced removal techniques.
The most common type, appearing as a pearly, dome-shaped bump with visible blood vessels. Often found on the face and neck.
Appears as a red, scaly patch on the trunk or limbs. May resemble eczema or psoriasis but doesn't respond to typical treatments.
A less common, more aggressive form appearing as a scar-like, flat, firm area. Requires specialist assessment and treatment.
Our comprehensive approach ensures accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and excellent cosmetic outcomes with ongoing support.
Detailed skin examination by our GMC-registered specialist, including dermoscopy if needed to accurately diagnose the BCC.
If required, a small tissue sample is taken and analysed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the BCC subtype.
Your BCC is expertly removed using the most appropriate technique for your specific case, prioritising complete clearance and minimal scarring.
Comprehensive aftercare instructions, wound monitoring, and skin surveillance to check for complete healing and early detection of any new concerns.

Expert answers to common questions about basal cell carcinoma diagnosis and treatment.
Common signs include a pearly or waxy bump, a flat, flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion, a bleeding or scabbing sore that heals and returns, or a pink growth with raised edges. Any persistent, changing, or concerning skin growth should be evaluated by a specialist.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during removal. You may feel slight pressure or tugging. Post-procedure discomfort is typically minimal and well-managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
The primary cause is cumulative UV exposure from sun and tanning beds. Risk factors include fair skin, history of sunburns, frequent sun exposure, family history, and increasing age. Prevention includes daily sun protection and avoiding tanning beds.
When completely removed, the treated BCC has a low recurrence rate (1-5% with surgical excision). However, having one BCC increases your risk of developing new ones elsewhere. We provide ongoing skin surveillance and sun protection advice.
Most patients heal within 2-4 weeks depending on the size and location of the excision. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and monitor your healing. Sutures are typically removed within 7-14 days.
All surgical procedures leave some scarring, but our specialists use advanced techniques to minimise scar appearance. Scars typically fade significantly over 6-12 months. The exact result depends on location, size, and individual healing.
Our experienced dermatology team provides comprehensive skin cancer care using the latest diagnostic tools and treatment techniques in our CQC-regulated clinic.
