I’ve just had a biopsy done on my lip and confirmed BcC
given where it is on my lip is there a treatment rather than cutting it out?

Like a laser treatment or something not using a knife
Hi there and thanks for posting
I am sorry to hear about your situation and appreciate you being worried about needing surgery to remove the basal cell carcinoma.
Sometimes there are other treatments available such as topical chemotherapy creams that can be applied to the bcc but it all depends on the size and location of the bcc as to whether this may be an option.
This is a question best answered by the dermatology department involved in your care, so do ask them.
We have more information about treatment options for skin cancer on our website.
I hope this helpful, do get back if you have any more questions.
Best wishes
Naomi
