Actor Hugh Jackman treated for skin cancer again, and posts #wearsunscreen warning on Instagram
Star of X-Men movies, who’s 48, has sixth treatment for basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, which can develop on parts of the body that receive high sun exposure
Australian movie star Hugh Jackman has undergone treatment for skin cancer again and renewed his warning to wear sunscreen.
The 48-year-old posted a picture of himself on Instagram with his nose covered by a plaster, and local media reported it was his sixth such treatment.
“Another basal cell carcinoma. Thanks to frequent body checks and amazing doctors, all is well,” his Tuesday post read.
“Looks worse with the dressing on than off. I swear! #wearsunscreen.”
He first had a basal cell carcinoma removed in 2013 after his wife Deborra-Lee Furness told him to get a mark on his nose checked.
