Next, another indication of the existence of basal cell carcinoma is the appearance of a pink growth. Raised platforms highlighted by flame ulceration could be common in pink growth, which wicked around and appears to be unifoliate at some points, among other cyclical patterns, and often shaped like a finger whose low center is like a funnel. The aforementioned growth will be very noticeable. Many times, the growth is called a rodent ulcer because it has an unattractive look and causes a slow rate of growth.
The pink growth is described as a lace pattern made up of vessels so small that they are hardly visible, creating the image of a delicately patterned quartzoid in a virtual world. The lesion is of pink color, and besides being vascular, it is an identifiable or indicative basal cell carcinoma that comes with it. The pink growth is soft when felt, and this gives it a texture that differentiates it from masses that have not been previously removed.
With the progress of the pink growth, it may reach the stage of ulcerating or crust in the middle; thus, it may also bleed or produce an artificial scab off and on. Almost invariably, terms would be mistaken to view these changes as sores or wounds that refuse to be healed and would, therefore, not give a correct diagnosis. However, they are very characteristic of basal cell carcinoma as they never seem to go away, although they sometimes become inflamed or produce a scab on their surface.
