My mom had one for 5 years :/ she just got it diagnosed and is scheduled for surgery. Thank you so much for this video is really educative.

[@DoctorpediaYT]

Thank you. When she finds out what is the preferred treatment you can watch one of those videos on the specific treatment so she knows exactly what the procedure entails. We also have videos on how to prepare for surgery and for the after-surgical care. Good luck.

[@TheFirstManticore]

Absolutely no sun exposure where mine is!

Lost my dad to skin cancer, this at least helped me to stop crying worried

I have had a bcc on my nose and got it removed successfully by surgery.

[@jay9353]

Diagnosed a few months ago and had treatment, Great video - thanks.

[@jedlimen123]

Thank you Dr. for sharing this very valuable information! 🙏

I have a pink thing on my shoulder started off 2 years ago as a dot it’s getting bigger and more pink despite me showing 2 dermatologist it they said it’s nowt if it gets any worse in a few weeks am gonna go back and demand a biopsy on it to make sure it’s not that

[@bonktoryu203]

What happenee bro? U gud?

[@trojanx7723]

Captain Obvious went back in end they said it’s Actinic keratoses but I should have ask for a biopsy to make sure but they frozen it off

[@MR-qb6yz]

This discussed how the sun is a factor but what if it’s not in an exposed area, how does it originate?

[@DoctorpediaYT]

Great question. Most of us get a lot of sun exposure when we are kids and are outside. Since sun damage takes decades to manifest in skin cancers, ... Sometimes an area gets a skin cancer that was not exposed to any sun, or chemicals, or trauma and then the cancer is likely a result of genetics.

[@sarahbrennan1342]

Great video... 👌❣️

[@bonktoryu203]

I would be really glad if you answer my questions:) : How to know the main difference of bcc to a pimple? And so, is it really dangerous that i need to rush to a doctor?

[@DoctorpediaYT]

A pimple should go away in a couple weeks. If it has been present for a couple months, it is most likely not a pimple.

[@bonktoryu203]

[@njiroo]

can you get basal cell carcinoma without sun exposure?, my mothers mother has melanoma but survived it those that risk me of basal cell carcinoma?

[@DoctorpediaYT]

You can although it is rare.

[@dianequelch3771]

I got know and ive been waiting becouse of this covid and its on the nose

[@connies1819]

Treated Sq.Cell on chin with home remedies, there is a round scar tissue now with a sunken middle. Round scar tissue changed and turned into a flower pedal. What causes this change? How could the sunken space be filled in? Thanks for any info

[@connies1819]

Sorry, flower pedals

[@DoctorpediaYT]

This really needs to be treated appropriately. Please see a Dermatologist to discuss.

[@ripon729]

My wife was diagnosed with BCC yesterday on her nose. I'm really worried. Can it be fatal?

[@Melanie____]

They grow slow so If left for ages yes but unlikely to get to that stage without you noticing and going to your GP. Early detection is ideal because a smaller incision will be required. I’d say your wife will be fine.

[@alcenofolchini6971]

Just removed my tird one. Sugar helps to get it.

[@alcenofolchini6971]

@@CajunPride777 no, if eat sugar you have higher chances to get cancer.

My 95 year old grand mother has basal cell c in her nose. Her cognitive functions are quite deteriorated, but otherwise she has good health. Is surgery the best option?

[@DoctorpediaYT]

I do not know all of the details but it would seem that perhaps Superficial Radiation Therapy is a better option. I do have a video on this treatment to help with the decision. My thoughts are with you both.

[@needmiracle2989]

Hi

[@blkjedi]

Can you get BCSC from shaving? After shaving around a 6 weeks ago I developed a nasty razor bump. It is still there and wont go down even after pulling the hair out.

[@murtalaumar3873]

This has been a Challenging time. And I Appreciate you so much Dr Ogoh on KZbin. You have Created a life that I thought was lost, Thanks for Curing my #cancer #disease with your Herbal #Medication. Thanks doctor.✌

[@elizabethguzman9914]

What about skin cancer on the chest?

[@DoctorpediaYT]

Same as all other areas. Chest is prone to skin cancer since it is often exposed to the sun.
