Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) On The Cheek (Near Ear)
Basal Cell Carcinoma in front of the ear can appear subtle in the early stages — infiltrative types may go unnoticed until they begin to flake, crust, or bleed, making early assessment essential.

Basal cell carcinomas can be quite subtle at first, like this ‘infiltrative’ basal cell carcinoma. These types of BCC can grow for quite some time before being visible or, as seen here, they are noticed when they start to flake, crust and even bleed. Any ‘spots’ which seem to come and go, are getting larger, or which itch, crust or bleed should be checked to exclude basal cell carcinoma.
