[15] Squeezing blackheads and whiteheads can remove them, but can also damage the skin. [2]

The nose and the temporal region are the most common areas of basal-cell carcinoma of the face. [62] When completely excised, the recurrence rate for basal-cell carcinoma is relatively low. However, when recurrence occurs among surgically treated basal-cell carcinomas of the face, there is a strong correlation with tumor thickness.
