The presence of open sores that just won’t heal is another red flag. These sores, especially those that linger for weeks or even months, deviate from typical skin injuries.
What’s striking about these sores is their cycle. They bleed, ooze, seem to heal temporarily, and then deteriorate again. This recurring pattern can lull individuals into brushing them off as mere persistent wounds.
While some of these sores can be painful, others remain painless, making them easy to ignore. This painless nature, however, doesn’t lessen their potential severity.
It’s also worth noting that BCC-linked sores predominantly appear on sun-exposed regions, especially the head and neck. Their manifestation, irrespective of pain, necessitates professional assessment. (2)
