Hugh Jackman has announced through a video posted on his Instagram account that he has once again undergone two biopsies at the risk of suffering from basal cell carcinomaa form of skin cancer who has suffered before. In fact, Jackman has faced six surgeries to eliminate basal cell carcinomas since 2013.

The Australian actor, who appears in these images with a small bandage on his nose, tells his followers that his doctor recently detected two “small dots” that “may or may not” be basal cells. “In the world of skin cancers it is the least dangerous“, points out the actor, who takes the opportunity to stress the importance of use protective sun cream daily, especially when we are going to expose ourselves to the sun. “Summer is coming to the northern hemisphere. Please use sunscreen,” she asks in this video.

This carcinoma usually appears as a slightly transparent growth on the head or neck and is thought to be caused by a prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.
