Living Well: How To Spot Basal Cell Carcinoma

Two well-known celebrities have come forward this month, with a diagnosis of skin cancer.

Model Christie Brinkley and fitness celebrity Richard Simmons both say they’ve been treated for basal cell carcinoma, every year in the U.S.

There are an estimated three-point-six million new cases of this disease diagnosed, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

But when it’s caught early, most cases are curable.

In today’s Living Well, News 40’s Morgan Hoover shows what this type of cancer looks like on the skin and explains how to protect yourself.
