Basal cells are small, round skin cells normally found in the outer layer of the skin. These cells actually form a layer called the stratum germinativum. These cells undergo rapid division in order to replenish the normal loss of skin (from shedding). A quarter of the cells are melanocytes, which produce the pigmentation for skin and hair.

You normally don't hear or find anything on basal cells themselves. Most of the information available on basal cells relate to when they are cancerous or when the melanocytes themselves are cancerous (melanoma). If you want more info than I provided, you would probably need to go to a library and access some physician manuals/books. Even in nursing, the most we learned in regards to basal cells themselves is what I posted in the first paragraph.

I certainly have cancer (clinically determined while i replace into 12). surprisingly plenty i do no longer likely comprehend relating to the layer. all i comprehend is that it relies upon on how severe that's. you have your first surgical operation the place they do a reasonably super incision yet to no longer vast. i think that would desire to b considered your first layer of epidermis. then i had my 2nd surgical operation via fact the 1st surgical operation hadn't gotten all the main cancers. that is going deeper and wider (so i think the secons point of epidermis) and then that have been given all of my maximum cancers out. there is no pill for cancer basically manually slicing out your epidermis. in the event that they do 2 cuttins tho then you definately progression onto chemo likely or besides the fact that different path docs say is sweet for you. i'm hoping that facilitates!
