Itching as a symptom of basal cell carcinoma

The sun seems to be the main culprit in these forms of skin cancers, which are mostly located on the face, in areas such as near the dark scalp, temples or eyelids, ears, and neck.
Careless exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet radiation may be responsible for these skin cancers defined as non-melanoma type.
The itchiness that arises from skin invaded by scales, ulcers, and spots can be soothed with creams with chemotherapeutic agents, which can eliminate diseased cells, saving the patient from surgery or skin curettage.
