Hi,
The given history and the physical findings are suggestive of skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma).
He needs to be examined by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for further clinical evaluation and possible biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
