3. Red Patches: Beyond Simple Rashes
Sometimes, red patches that could be dismissed as allergic reactions or mere skin irritations are more sinister than they appear. Persistent, slightly itchy red patches may indicate BCC.
Their initial innocuous appearance might deceive many, but as they evolve, these patches expand and can even become crusty or painful. Their steady progression and resistance to common treatments can be alarming.
Differentiating these patches from conditions like eczema or psoriasis is crucial. While similarities exist, the chronic persistence and resistance of these patches to treatments highlight the possible underlying threat.
Therefore, any skin anomaly that resists treatment or doesn’t align with known skin conditions should be professionally evaluated, especially if it persists. (3)
