"Thankful and very grateful for the amazing team at The Skin Associates and their quick work in lifting the kasinoma of these basal cells!" wrotecheya on her personal Instagram account.

"Please don't forget to wear sunscreen this weekend. And no, this is not a facial down payment. I need a refund," he said.

In addition to sharing his experience,kerya emphasized the importance of protecting the skin from exposure to the sun by using sunscreen every outdoor activity.

So what is basal cell carcinoma?

Reporting from the Mayo Clinic page, basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that starts from basal cells, which are cells at the bottom of the epidermis layer (outer skin). This cell is tasked with creating new skin cells to replace dead old cells.

This cancer usually appears as a small lump of transparency or skin color. Most often grows in body parts that are often exposed to the sun, such as the face, head, and neck.

On the white skin there is a lump of skin or pink color. Meanwhile, the owner of brown and black skin looks like a lump of chocolate or spinning black with thickened edges.

Symptoms

Basal cell carcinomas usually develop in body parts that are often exposed to sunlight. However, it can also appear in areas that are rarely affected, such as intimate organs. Signs include:

- Melts of skin, pearl white, or pink on bright skin. On dark skin, you can look brown or black. Sometimes you can see a small blood vessel on the surface. This lump is easily bleeding and then raking.

- Lesi is brown, black, or blue with a slightly transparent edge.

- Scaled flat spots with slightly raised edges, which can get bigger over time.

- Wounds or white spots such as scar tissue with edges are not clear.

Causes And Processes Of Occurrence

This cancer occurs when basal cells experience DNA mutations. These mutations make cells continue to divide non-stop, whereas they should die and be replaced by new cells. As a result, tumors are formed in the skin.

The main cause of mutation is ultraviolet (UV) exposure from the sun or tanning beds. However, in some cases, cancer can appear in the skin that is rarely exposed to sunlight, so other factors may also play a role.

Risk Factors

The risk of being exposed to basal cell carcinoma increases in people with the following conditions:

- Long-term exposure to sunlight or the use of tanning beds.

- History of radiation therapy, for example for past acne.

- Bright, flammable skin, bronze/red hair, and bright eyes.

- Old age, because this cancer usually takes decades to develop.

- Personal history or family with skin cancer.

- Consumption of immune system suppression drugs, for example after organ transplantation.

- Arsenic exposure, either from contaminated well water or certain work.

- Scarcity genetic disorder, such as Gorlin-Goltz syndrome or xeroderma pigmentosum.

Prevention

Several steps can be taken to reduce the risk of skin cancer:

- Avoid sunlight in the hot hours (10.00 a.m.).

- Use the SPF sunscreen at least 30 daily, including when cloudy. Re-emphasize every 2 hours or after swimming and sweating.

- Wear protective clothes, such as long-sleeved clothes, trousers, wide hats, and sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB.

- Avoid tanning beds, because they both emit dangerous UV rays.

- Regular skin checks. Pay attention to whether or not there is a new bump, changing moles, and wounds are difficult to heal.
