Bcc scalp

Hi, All;)

Recently been clinically diagnosed with bcc on scalp.  Hard to tell but the lesion seems to be about 2 mm. It's right at the top of my scalp, so a place where sun could definitely do damage. And super hard to see or monitor.

 I have had it for at least 5 years, even though I was seen by two doctors early. One gave me drops to put on it, after which it seemed to all but disappear. The other ( a derm) couldn't even see it.

Fast forward a few years later, it's back with a scab and some itching. I have a surgical consult with a plastic surgeon on Friday, who will probably do a complete excisional biopsy before mid-March.

I know these "entitites" are slow growing and rarely metastatic, but I am worried it's growing into deeper structures ( which would be my skull!).

I just want it off, and am worried about the pathology and local invasion.

Does anyone have a similar story?

Thanks for reading;)

  • Hi   and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    My BCC was on my chest, so not much help for you, but I've had a look in the group and I'm 'tagging'  and  into my reply as they've both posted recently about having BCCs on the scalp. Hopefully one or both of them will respond and share their experiences with you.
