Medical Conditions
Several skin issues would be regarded as pre-cancerous or raise the risk of developing basal cell carcinoma. People with non-melanoma skin cancer tend to be much more susceptible to this condition. Also, actinic keratosis is a common skin lesion caused by long-term sun exposure. Having many keratoses around the body is associated with an increased chance of having many forms of skin cancer. Some other risk factors include congenital melanocytic nevi, dysplastic moles, and having so many moles in different body areas. Similarly, non-skin disorders would also trigger basal cell carcinoma. These include human papillomavirus infections and HIV/AIDS. [6]
