Half of these basal cell carcinomas look like picked pimples. Are there any sort of protocols for self screening for carcinomas a la self-testing ones testicles? I've never heard of anything other than the ABCDE for moles
Look for any new skin lesion that is not resolving with time especially if persisting for a number of months. You can take photos of different body sites and repeat every couple of months and then put the two photos side by side on a computer screen to look for any difference. If unsure about the lesions that are present then worth getting a full skin check with a dermatologist as a baseline so that you then just need to look for new/changing lesions.
