Correct Answer:
Basal cell carcinoma
Rationale:
🌟 A raised, flesh-colored lesion with pearly white borders is a classic presentation of basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
🌟 BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, usually caused by prolonged sun exposure, and most frequently appears on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, or chest.
🌟 These lesions grow slowly and rarely metastasize but can become locally invasive if untreated.
🌟 The pearly, translucent appearance and rolled borders with possible central ulceration are hallmark traits that distinguish BCC from other skin cancers.
