In the early stages of basal cell carcinoma, a part of the skin that is irritating and does not seem to heal properly after conventional treatments can be considered fatigue beside an internal organ. They could occur in the form of red, dry, or watery patches on the skin that would last for weeks or months and still not be completely gone. Most of the time, they are probably wrong as they are usually diagnosed as psoriasis or contact dermatitis, to which ointments and anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed as treatment instead of the correct medication for the diagnosis.
The mild irritation can either be a constant one or appear sporadically. Some patients may have itching, burning, or pain only in some specific areas. These red areas – very different from other infections seen on the skin – are less responsive to ointments. They also would not heal when anti-inflammatory medications are used. In addition to this, the way they look also emphasizes the fact that they are other types of skin infections.
Along with the development of irritation, the area may also be accompanied by other signs. These are a higher sheen and gloss, more blood vessels visible, and the height of the edge. These features continue to magnify the mandatory monitoring of persistent cutaneous irritation and the subsequent referral to a dedicated physician who is an expert in the field of skin diseases and their treatments and specifically has experience in this area.
