Has anyone had experience with a fast-growing BCC? I'm awaiting surgery but between December and now it's visibly grown, as can be seen in pictures. It's now been growing for 19 months, but this past two months have seen obvious changes, including pain around the area. Feeling really sick about the wait for surgery because I'm worrying in two month's time it'll be bigger/deeper. It is still tiny in respect, but everything I've read said BCCs grow super-slow?
It's grown 1mm in just over two weeks, which doesn't sound a lot but it took a nearly 19 months to grow to 3mm and now seems to be letting loose!
Thanks in advance.
