I went to a dermatologist when i was 25 with small sores on my back, which turned out to be BCC's . After many were removed he admitted me and had scans of head,chest,jaws done. At the moment I have just pitting on hands and feet and have around 8 BCC taken off each year..

Thanks for all your responses, a very mixed range of specialities and ages when diagnosis confirmed.
