Pimple like object on cheeck could be basal cell cancer

by Sandra Bellezza

Basal cell skin cancers are slow-growing cancers that almost never spread to distant places in the body. However, they can bore deeply into tissues beneath the skin and become most disfiguring.

Most people get it on their face because the face is the body part most exposed to sunlight.

Basal cells vary in appearance. They can start out as pearly-white or pink dome-shaped growths that do resemble a pimple – somewhat. Often the form a scab that heals but returns time and again.
