There was another skin cancer scare for Hugh Jackman. The 54-year-old Australian actor had two biopsies performed after his doctor found “little things” that might be Basal Cell Carcinoma.

Basal cell carcinoma is a benign kind of skin cancer, but it still needs medical attention, claims Mayo Clinic. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight frequently manifests as a bump.

Throughout the 2010s, the actor has struggled with the skin issue and has undergone treatment on a few occasions. In 2013, Jackman received his initial diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma. Deborra-Lee Furness, the actor’s wife had pushed him to get a checkup because of an odd-looking mark on his nose.

He got it removed after learning that it was a basal cell carcinoma, the most typical type of skin cancer. Jackman has undergone numerous further procedures to treat skin cancer since that time and has started to promote skin cancer awareness and protection.

In interviews, Jackman has emphasized the value of using sunscreen and visiting a dermatologist regularly for skin examinations. Also, he has urged his followers to regularly check their bodies for any odd moles or marks and to visit a doctor if they discover anything troubling.

He underwent a biopsy on his face in 2021, and the results were unclear, showing that the worst it could be was BCC.

Hugh revealed the news in a video on social media while sporting a bandage over his nose and asked his followers to practice sun safety. “Hey, guys. So, I wanted you to hear it from me just in case someone sees me on the street or whatever,’ Jackman said. ‘I’ve just had two biopsies done. I just went to my doctor, Dr. Iron, who’s awesome. I’ll find out in two or three days and as soon as I know, I’ll let you know. Just to remind you, Basal Cell in the world of skin cancers is the least dangerous of them all.”

‘Please wear sunscreen. It is just not worth it,’ he added. ‘No matter how much you want to tan, trust me, trust me, trust me.’
