Pilomatrix Carcinoma is a rare type of skin cancer that begins in hair follicle cells. Normally, these cells help in the growth of hair, but in this disease, they start to grow in an abnormal and uncontrolled way, forming a hard lump under the skin. Most often, this lump appears on the head, neck, or upper body.
Many sufferers of Pilomatrix Carcinoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Pilomatrix Carcinoma. We have recently created an Pilomatrix Carcinoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
