Following another skin cancer scare, Hugh Jackman has disclosed that he is currently undergoing tests once more.
The Hollywood powerhouse received his initial skin cancer diagnosis in 2013; since then, at least six treatments have been performed on him, according to the Daily Mirror.
The X-Men actor took to social media following his most recent potential run-in with the illness to urge his fans to always use sunscreen and to respect the sun.
The 54-year-old, who was visible with a bandage covering his nose in his Instagram photo, stated that he is expecting test results in the next days.
Jackman clarified the current state of affairs by stating that doctors had discovered ‘small things which may be, or could not be basal cell [carcinomas]’.
Basal cell carcinoma is one of the two most prevalent kinds of skin cancer, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.It starts in the skin’s basal layer, is typically curable, but can potentially be disfiguring.
Despite this, data indicate that at least 90% of patients with non-melanoma skin cancer respond well to treatment.
While advising his followers that cancer is ‘least harmful,’ Jackman also urged them to always
use caution when exposed to the sun.
No matter how badly you desire a tan, I implore you to use sunscreen. ‘Believe me,’ he urged.
All of this occurred 25 years ago, and it is just now becoming public. You can still enjoy yourself out there if you use sunscreen. Be careful, please.
The actor continued, ‘I wanted you to hear it from me, just in case someone sees me on the street or
whatever.’ The star has almost 31 million Instagram followers. I recently underwent two biopsies.
Jackman, who was nominated for a BAFTA in 2012, acknowledged in 2021 that his battle with cancer had necessitated a lot of treatments.
He stated of his medical concerns, ‘I’ve had five or six of them now, so it’s definitely not my first.’
When you have English parents, traveling to Australia to play cricket in the heat is rather typical.
Basal cell carcinoma typically presents as a tiny, bright pink or pearly-white lump that has a transparent or waxy look,
according to the NHS. The lump gradually increases in size and may crust over, bleed, or turn into an ulcer without any discomfort.
