7. Patchy Skin Resembling Eczema
Eczema and Psoriasis are common skin conditions, but some skin cancers can mimic these rashes. Basal cell carcinoma is one such cancer; however, it tends to be isolated to one area of the body.
Basal cell carcinoma patches tend to be a solid color and most commonly occur in areas exposed to the sun. The face, limbs, back, shoulders and neck are the most likely places where individuals will find spots of suspicious patchy skin.3Basal Cell Carcinoma Warning Signs and Images.
