Answer:

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results  in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.

On which part of the body does long-term use of stimulants (e.g., nicotine, cocaine, and methamphetamine) have the most signific
Y_Kistochka [10]
Stimulants are substances that all result in the increase of levels of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that affects attention and pleasure. What this means is that stimulants affect our brain and the way it works by changing the ways that nerve cells communicate.

Neurons (nerve cells) are the cells that have a role in transmitting messages from the brain to other parts of our body, and vice-versa, which is important for pain response, alertness, energy etc.

With long-term use, the use of stimulants would affect the central nervous system (speeding it up), the brain, and the functions necessary to live, like respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature. Levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, which are responsible for the regulation of different processes,  are also impacted, which creates a chemical disbalance ultimately resulting in behavioral changes, mood swings, altered attention, movement and energy, stress etc.

So the part of the body that is affected the most with the long-term use of stimulants like cocaine, nicotine, methamphetamine is the brain of course, which is where these substances have the most impact, but the impact on the central nervous system, autonomous nervous system, and neurotransmitter levels is significant.
