What is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)?
Basal Cell Carcinoma or BCC (commonly known as Rodent Ulcer) is a malignant tumour of keratinocytes skin cells located in the stratum germinativum layer of the hair follicles. Therefore it appears only on Hairy areas but never on Palms or soles of feet. BCC is more common in North Europeans, fair skin people or people who take Immuno-suppressants or chemotherapy treatment.
BCC is the most common skin cancer in the world. Although there is no official number but skin professionals treat around 0.5 Million per year just in the UK. Thankfully BCC is harmless as it never spread to organs therefore it is not a life threatening condition.
The NHS usually offers a rapid diagnosis of skin cancer but the waiting time to get it removed can be extremely long taking several months. UK Skin offers a private skin cancer treatment service for patients who would like to explore a faster option than the NHS. There is no need for a referral from your GP or hospital.
The procedure will be done under local anaesthetic and would last approximately 30 minutes. The skin needs to be incised and the cancer cut out with some margins. The wound will be closed with sutures and a dressing will be applied on. It will leave a linear scar that usually fades away over the years. The removed lesion will be sent to Histology to be analysed under microscope. Patient will be reviewed to discuss the result. Communication between our Clinic and the NHS is upheld rigorously and we will keep your GP informed of the outcome.

I attended UK Skin on 3 February 2022 to have a growth removed from my upper lip. They had been recommended to me by my dentist. Everything was very well explained, the whole procedure from arriving to leaving took about 45 minutes, and I was given notes on after-care and cream to apply once the dressing came off. I am very pleased with the result, with no trace left of the growth and no scar.

My wife had a mole removal from the side of her nose, earlier this year, she had it for more than 30 years, numerous doctors and so called specialists advised her it's just cosmetic and to leave it well alone. Having watch numerous TV show from all countries we saw how easy it would be to get removed, we sourced the UK Skin clinic and found one located in Birmingham not to far away, it couldn't of been easier, from start to finish. Contacted them, they asked for a photo,Gave us a quote within the hour, then booked in for the next Saturday afternoon, all though WhatsApp, didn't even have to leave the sofa.When we got there the staff were very friendly and helpful, full covid procedure was in force, filled in some forms and then she saw Jay the surgeon who explained everything, and told her about the different ways it could be done and the healing processes, having chosen the right way for her ,the mole was removed, full pain relief was given, he talked her though it as he was doing it and the nurse was very reassuring. There were no stitches only a small plaster covering the wound.Uk skin gave her full instructions on the healing process and what to do to look after the wound, also giving her all the necessary items in a little goody bag to keep the wound clean and help it to heal well. If she had any problems to contact the straight away.The team at UK Skin followed up with a phone call a few days later to see if everything was OK, and the rest is now history.The wound healed very well, better than she was expecting, thought there would be a redness where the mole had been, but no not a sign, almost like it had not even been there.Thank you UK Skin for making my wife feel more confident again, it was only a small thing but it was huge to her, our advice would be not to hesitate, we did for too long, but then UK Skin wasn't about then, (when we were put off), but they are here now, and just go for it you won't be disappointed.

I would like to thank everyone at the UK skin clinic for making my procedure such a pleasant one. I have been contemplating whether to have this small operation for years, but I always held back due to not feeling comfortable. UK Skin made me feel secure all the way from thinking about the procedure, and even POST operation they have still been amazing help. I would like to thank everyone from the customer service support team/reception to the nurses and of course my doctor who did a fantastic job, and I could not be happier. It might not seem like the biggest deal, but you have changed my life.I am aware they offer a number of services, and I will be going back.Thank you so muchAleesah Ali

I was nervous at first but once I arrived at the clinic I was put at ease. The examination and subsequent procedure was handled extremely well. I returned a week later to have the stitches removed and received the same excellent treatment from the nurse. A big thank you

In May 2021 I had an upper eyelid blepharoplasty at Uk Skin and could not be happier with the results! I also had two facial moles removed at the same time. The clinic itself is very clean and calm when you enter, all the staff are friendly and super professional. I had an initial consultation and then returned 2 weeks later for the procedure. Everything was explained clearly and any questions I had were answered promptly even out of hours. The aftercare was fabulous and my only regret is that I wish I had had the procedure done years before!

The staff at this clinic are lovely and welcoming. I had two horrible lumpy moles removed that I'd wanted to get rid of for years. I'm so glad I did, I'm really happy with the results and the procedure didn't even hurt

You can see why these guys have a 5* rating! Had a cyst removed today and they were great! Everybody is really friendly and I didn't feel pressured or uncomfortable at all. The WhatsApp communication from the start was great, they are really informative. The procedure itself didn't hurt at all and the aftercare is explained thoroughly. I'll be sure to return again if needed and highly recommend them to others. Thank you!

The staff is great, they replied to all my questions very quickly and even after the procedure, when I was worried about the swelling, they quickly contacted the surgeon and reassured me that everything was alright. The surgeon also was very professional and friendly and explained everything in detail. The procedure was painless and only took a few minutes. I would definitely recommend UKSkin.

I required 2 moles to be removed from sensitive areas on my chin and upper lip.Right from 1st contact the UK SKIN Clinic (Kings Heath, Birmingham) was nothing but professional. From the quote via email to the actual procedure I was impressed with the service.Whilst not cheap, you’re paying for a 1st class private treatment in which you receive very good care and I once I’d received the quote I then had no further unexpected costs.I’d completed my own research on the surgeon that would perform the procedure (Dr Ouali) and was more than happy with his credentials so paid the required amount and booked my appointment.The appointment at the clinic was everything you’d expect a private practice to be, spotlessly clean, well maintained and the staff very friendly and thorough.The procedure was quick and painless and the results post healing are skin that has no visible scarring.I have had friends comment on how impressed they are with the results and have recommended UK SKIN clinic to them.
