Can old burns, scars, or skin inflammation cause basal cell carcinoma?
Sometimes, skin that has been damaged for a long time, like burns, old injuries, or areas with long-term inflammation, can have a slightly higher chance of developing basal cell carcinoma (BCC). This is because damaged skin may change over time.
The good news is that the risk is still very low, and most scars or inflamed areas do not turn into cancer.
With DermPro, you can keep an eye on these spots, track any changes, and get an instant risk check to stay safe and catch problems early.
