Treatment options for BCC in children are similar to those in adults and include:
Surgical excision - The primary treatment, aiming to completely remove the tumor. Curettage and electrodessication - Often used for small, superficial lesions. Mohs micrographic surgery - Provides high cure rates with minimal tissue removal, suitable for facial or recurrent BCC. Topical treatments - Including imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil for superficial lesions. Radiation therapy - Rarely used due to the potential long-term risks in children.
