The first or subclinical sign of basal cell carcinoma is a small discoloring of the skin (lighter pigmentation). That can be a very early symptom of basal cell carcinoma in the morphoeaform subtype. All the hairless, smooth, and flat areas are the places for symptoms, such as whitened skin areas, which are created after the appearance of the first signs. The color changes might be occurring. However, it is a fact that most often, you can’t see the skin’s mild changes before it is through visualization techniques or tricking ontological devices of the dermatologist.
Whereas a bright and shiny feel identifies abnormal areas like chloasma, the linear defect of the pigmented layer with the help of a slit lamp, for instance, is less obvious. Meanwhile, papular formations and other skin changes are distinguished by smooth and shiny surfaces that are free of pigment. This image might accept the fact that the space between the formation and the skin remains almost imperceptible, causing some areas to be fused.
The regions or areas of the skin can actually be the early signs of basal cell carcinoma, while otherwise, the doctor may suspect other also non-malignant problems such as little blood vessels or some local irritation. The top layer of the skin can become so light that it seems almost like white tissue paper. If there is no pain but the area increases in size and persists, then submit to the medical consultation to make sure you are not ignoring any health threats that could be related to it.
