Can a basal cell carcinoma start out like a pimple and shrink down until only a red spot is left?

I am 64, but still get a pimple every once in a while. I also have slight rosacea, although I don't drink at all. I am a fair skinned redhead who burned a few times as a child.  I had a BCC removed by MOHS last year.  Less than two weeks ago, I got a pimple about an inch away from the BCC.  It Was tender and hurt like a normal pimple.  But it never came to a head.  It was quite big.  I used benzoyl peroxide at night, but for the first time, I applied Apple cider vinegar during the day. I just used my finger and patted it on a couple of times a day. It is practically flat now and not as red as it was, but still a reddish pink spot.  The color will not return to normal.  Could this possibly be the Apple cider vinegar?  I only used it a couple of days and stopped four days ago.  Or is it possibly a BCC?
