Hugh Jackman, 54, who is well known for playing Wolverine, recently revealed that a skin cancer worry led to his having two biopsies. The actor reminded everyone to wear sunscreen with a high SPF in a video posted on his Instagram account. He stated he expects his results within the next three days while sporting a bandage on his nose. Hugh Jackman was initially diagnosed with skin cancer in 2013, and since then, at least six treatments for the disease have been administered to him, according to reports.
The most prevalent type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, develops in the skin’s basal cells, which are in charge of replacing lost skin cells with new ones. It may manifest as a visible growth or bump on the skin that is chronically ill. It might happen in places that are constantly exposed to sunshine.
Basal cell carcinoma typically appears on areas of your body that are exposed to the sun, particularly your head and neck. Basal cell carcinoma can less frequently form on areas of your body like the genitalia that are typically shielded from the sun.
If you notice any changes in the way your skin looks, such as a new growth, a change in an existing growth, or a persistent sore, schedule a visit with your healthcare practitioner.
UV radiation from sources including sunlight, tanning beds, and commercial tanning lamps is assumed to be mostly responsible for the DNA damage in basal cells. Skin cancers that form on skin that is not typically exposed to sunlight, are not explained by sun exposure. Additional causes of skin cancer include radiation therapy, growing older, having a family history of the disease, exposure to arsenic (a hazardous metal), and hereditary skin cancer syndromes.
