Basil is an herb while ‘basal’ is a location of a carcinoma.

Glad you got it removed, Hugh.

Everyone, please get any skin mark checked out. Especially if you have fair skin.

A family member had an irritation in the inner corner of his eye. His eye was watering. He delayed going to the doctor. When he did, it was found to be carcinoma.
