What I have found out about the basil cell carcinoma is that it likes the eye lids. So, folks, please, take a second look at your eye lids for strange spots.
Right!!! Back in l980 while cutting my husband's hair I noticed the strange coloring and texture; turned out to be a melanoma. Just two weeks later which was the time they diagnosed and removed it (they gave him 6 months to live before it reached his brain!!) Do not take any of these things with a grain of salt. You never know!! Hubby is fine today.
