Basal cell carcinoma?

Hi,
So this appeared on my DC’s inside of thigh a month ago. He is 18 so I realise it’s much less common in teens, however, there is research linked to low vitamin D levels (which he has) & BCC.

It has grown in size during that time. It hasn’t healed in that time. The skin is slightly scaly but barely feel raised.
It doesn’t itch at all and he hasn’t touched it at all.
He has no eczema. This is the only patch on his entire body.

He thinks it looks like a flat, basal cell cancer growth.
I think it looks fungal but maybe not ringworm. There’s no red line around it and it’s not typically circular.

Any ideas?

IRL bcc look nothing like the images you’re using op & he’s too young.

If you hear hooves look for horses not zebras.
