I have 2 basal cell carcinomas; one on the right breast (about 1") and another on the lateral side of my left breast. I was diagnosed last July and booked in to have one excised and the second one curetted.

I was diagnosed last July and I used Aldara cream for 6 weeks which got rid of 80% of it so then I was and booked in to have one excised and the second one curetted. The dermatologist couldnt make the appointment and I saw another surgeon who told me he could do it but it'd leave a big scar or I could leave it and it might just fade away.

I spoke with the original dermatologist who asked to examine me again then he said he'd do biopsies and possibly treat with PDT. Because they are on my breasts i think he's concerned about scarring.

Could a biopsy aggravate the BCC and make it spread?

Would PDT make it worse? We are advised against direct sunlight etc.

I'm so worried and so confused.

Would i be better off just having them excised?
