Hi All, 7 days ago I was identified as having a BCC which is central to my spine its small but evident. With appointment for removal initially for December now moved to November and on a cancellation list.
I have seen lots of people referring to BCC on their face but has anyone experienced this? My rational brain knows that it is slow growing but I have itching and dull pain around it. GP has given me some hydrocortizone cream to treat the symptom.
I'm still in a bit of shock my back is not open to the elements except probably 1 day a year if that what a wake up call!!!
I have seen lots of people referring to BCC on their face but has anyone experienced this on their back?
Hi yes Ive had two BCCs removed from my back, both were quite large. Mine bled a lot and due to their size were surgically removed,
Try not to worry (I know easily said than done). Hope you get relief from the cream your GP has provided you with. I just used lots of moisturiser twice daily on mine to keep the itching at bay.
best wishes
