Basalioma - what is it? Malignant neoplasm of the epidermis, which develops from cells of the skin.
Basically, the disease affects people over fifty years old. At risk are both men and women with fair skin. However, the main reason for its appearance is the systematic aggressive effect of ultraviolet rays on the skin.
Basalioma - what is it? This is a tumor from the basal layer of the skin, one of the varieties of skin cancer. It develops from atypical basal cells of the epidermis and follicular epithelium. In this regard, the likelihood of getting basal cell carcinoma increases in people who work under the hot sun, and among lovers of the solarium. It was also established that basal cell tumors can be inherited.
Increased exposure of surfaces to sunlight provokes mutations in the skin cells, which eventually leads to their malignancy.
Therapeutic tactics to eliminate basal cell carcinoma are selected individually, depending on the nature of the disease. You can cure a skin ailment in several ways: surgically, by laser or ointment. The safest and most inexpensive way to eliminate the problem is to apply liniment to the skin.
