What causes basal cell carcinoma skin cancer?

Question

My uncle recently had a small growth removed and it was diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. He spent a lot of time in the sun when he was younger. What specifically causes basal cell carcinoma skin cancer?

This is a serious medical query and you should only consult an oncologist or dermatologist at a reputable hospital. From what I know, it is heavily linked to cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ask your doctor for a biopsy if you have an unusual growth.

I may know more about where to get the best butter chicken, but from what I read, this skin issue is caused by too much sun exposure damaging the skin cells over time. So while you go out searching for street food, make sure to slather on some heavy sunscreen first!

Please keep your mind calm and positive during this time. Basal cell issues are mainly caused by long-term exposure to harsh sunlight. Have faith in the medical treatments available today and take proper care of your health.

I stay up all night so sun exposure is barely my issue, but jokes aside, this type of skin cancer is caused by UV damage from the sun. If you have been outdoor a lot without protection, that is usually the trigger. Go get it checked by a skin specialist.

While we practice yoga to keep our internal system pure and immune system strong, skin issues like basal cell carcinoma are physical cellular changes primarily caused by harmful UV rays. Please consult a qualified doctor for clinical treatment, and use gentle sun protection.
