Why sunscreen is your most important skincare product, as Jesse Tyler Ferguson will tell you – Modern Family star just got ‘a bit of skin cancer’ removed
- TV star Ferguson shared a reminder on Instagram about the importance of using high-SPF sunscreen after a visit to the dermatologist
- Experts say 80 to 90 per cent of all skin tumours are on the face and neck, so daily sunscreen is vital, even indoors
Actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson is sharing an important reminder after getting “a bit of skin cancer” removed from his neck.
In a post to Instagram this week, the Modern Family star, 45, urged his followers to make regular visits to see a dermatologist and wear sunscreen.
“Reminder to stay up to date on your dermatology checks … especially if you’re fair like me. I always wind up getting something taken from me, every time I go,” he wrote. “Today, they took a bit of skin cancer that they found. Don’t worry, I got it early and I’m gonna be just fine. (and, wear sunscreen! SPF 1,000 for me!)
In the photo, you can see a bandage covering a section of his neck just below his ear. His husband, Justin Mikita, wrote in the comment section, “Gotta keep you around forever. Derm appointments once a month!”
Others chimed in to thank Ferguson for the sun protection reminder. Zooey Deschanel wrote, “SPF one million!!! And hats – so many hats!” Actor Rory O’Malley wrote, “Glad you are OK. Thanks for the reminder my fellow ginger.”
