safe, effective basal cell carcinoma treatment in Delhi
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), choosing the right clinic and doctor matters — especially when the lesion is on the face. At Sunshine Skin Clinic, we specialise in respectful, evidence-based Basal cell carcinoma treatment in Delhi, combining accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment planning and careful cosmetic reconstruction to deliver both cure and confidence.
What is basal cell carcinoma (BCC)?
Basal cell carcinoma is a common form of skin cancer that usually grows slowly and stays local. It most often appears on sun-exposed skin — the face, nose, forehead and scalp — and shows up as a pearly bump, a non-healing sore, or a scaly patch. Early detection and treatment produce excellent outcomes; delayed care can lead to larger defects and more complex reconstruction.
How we diagnose BCC at Sunshine Skin Clinic
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in safe treatment. At our clinic we use:
- Full clinical skin examination by a dermatologist.
- Dermoscopy to review lesion features at high magnification.
- Biopsy (punch or shave) when needed to confirm diagnosis and guide treatment choice.
Getting a quick, precise diagnosis helps our team plan the best approach for Basal cell carcinoma treatment in South Delhi or Basal cell carcinoma treatment in West Delhi, depending on which branch you visit.
Best treatment options — chosen case by case
Treatment is personalised based on tumour type, size, location and patient factors. Common, high-success options we offer or coordinate:
Mohs micrographic surgery (preferred for many facial BCCs)
Mohs offers the highest cure rates with the smallest removal of healthy tissue — ideal for lesions on the nose, eyelids, lips or ear. When Mohs is appropriate we coordinate with experienced Mohs surgeons and perform staged reconstruction for the best cosmetic result.
Surgical excision with histologic margin control
Standard excision with careful margin assessment is an effective option for many primary BCCs. We aim to remove the tumour completely while planning an optimal closure to minimise scarring.
Non-surgical options for selected low-risk lesions
Topical therapies or photodynamic therapy can be used for superficial BCCs in carefully selected patients. These are generally for small, low-risk tumours and require close follow-up.
Radiotherapy
For patients who cannot undergo surgery, radiotherapy provides a non-invasive alternative with good local control in appropriate cases.
Basal cell carcinoma on the face — special care and reconstruction
Facial BCCs require a team approach: precise removal, then reconstruction using the most suitable technique (local flaps, grafts or primary closure). Our priority is complete tumour control and restoring natural appearance and function. We discuss realistic cosmetic outcomes and healing timelines before any procedure.
Healing after BCC removal — what patients can expect
- Immediate aftercare: dressings, topical ointments and wound protection.
- Stitch removal: usually 5–14 days depending on location.
- Scar maturation: 3–12 months for final scar appearance.
- Sun protection: essential to prevent new lesions and to improve cosmetic healing.
We give written aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and skin checks.
Can I wait a month to have BCC removed?
Small, low-risk BCCs grow slowly, but delays increase the chance they become larger and require more extensive repair. For lesions on the face or any that bleed, grow or change, prompt evaluation and treatment are recommended. We advise quick consultation to determine urgency.
How serious is basal cell carcinoma?
BCC is rarely life-threatening and has an excellent prognosis when treated early. However, if ignored it can invade deeper tissue and cause significant local damage. Early specialist care keeps treatment simple and outcomes excellent.

People Also Ask — short answers
What is the best treatment for basal cell carcinoma?
For high-risk or facial BCCs, Mohs surgery is often the best choice for maximum cure and minimal tissue loss. Standard excision and radiotherapy are also effective options in selected cases.
Can I wait a month to have basal cell carcinoma removed?
A short delay may be acceptable for small, low-risk BCCs, but consult a dermatologist quickly — especially if the lesion is on your face or shows change.
How serious is basal cell carcinoma skin cancer?
BCC is usually not life-threatening when treated early, but untreated lesions can grow and invade surrounding tissues and lead to substantial local harm.
What is the bump on my forehead — could it be cancer?
A persistent pearly or scaly bump that bleeds or fails to heal may be BCC. Any suspicious, changing, or non-healing bump should be examined and biopsied by a dermatologist.
