Suggest Treatment For Basal Cell Carcinoma On The Face

I have a small Basal Cell Carcinoma on my face that I recently got diagnosed. I have an appointment with my local hospital to get it treated. My question is that i squeezed it a bit today and a small rock like object, almost looked like part of a chipped tooth came out and I would like to know what it is.
Thanks

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have basal cell carcinoma on the face which is a very slow growing tumor. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined. As your skin is rock like at particular area you can go for chemo therapeutic ointment which can be applied locally. Surgical excision is the best possible treatment. You can go for plastic reconstruction after surgical excision and there will be no scars and all you need to maintain is hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
