Hugh, 47, had a basal cell carcinoma removed from his nose on Monday. He shared a bandaged image after the operation with a warning to fans.

“An example of what happens when you don’t wear sunscreen. He wrote on Instagram. “Basal Cell. The mildest form of cancer but serious, nonetheless. PLEASE USE SUNSCREEN and get regular check-ups,” he wrote.

Hugh has had four basal cell carcinomas treated since November 2013.

  • I would like to make another comment if I may. I had a fall and ended up with a scar which took awhile to heal. It got itchy on one end and I scratched it in my sleep. It had formed a small crust, then a growth which I had removed which fortunately wasn’t Cancer. It doesn’t have to be where your skin is exposed. If you get scars keep a watch on them too.

  • I am glad Hugh Jackman is speaking out about the danger of sun to our skin.
    Unfortunately our Grandparents didn’t have access to Sunscreen, so my parents didn’t as a child either.
