Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Dietary counseling and physical activity plan
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
A precise surgical technique where thin layers of cancerous skin are removed and examined under a microscope until only cancer-free tissue remains. This approach maximizes preservation of healthy tissue while ensuring complete removal of basal cell carcinoma.
Comprehensive Sun Protection
Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding peak sun hours. This preventive approach reduces UV damage and decreases risk of new lesions forming.
Additional treatment options
Cryotherapy
Uses extreme cold from liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells. The procedure is quick and performed in an outpatient setting, causing the treated lesion to blister and fall off as new skin forms beneath.
procedureTopical Immunotherapy
Application of immune-activating creams such as imiquimod that stimulate the body's natural defenses to attack cancer cells. Treatment typically involves applying the cream several times per week for several weeks.
medicationRegular Skin Surveillance
Scheduled dermatological examinations to detect new or recurrent basal cell carcinomas early. Self-examination of skin at home combined with annual professional skin checks helps identify concerning lesions promptly.
