Hugh Jackman insists he’s doing well after receiving treatment for skin cancer again last week, reports India Today.
The ‘Wolverine’ actor – who also had cancerous cells removed in November – believes he’s ‘fixed’ after undergoing a procedure to remove a Basel Cell Carsinoma (BCC) from the side of his nose last Friday (09.05.14).
When asked how he is doing following the treatment, he told PEOPLE.com: ‘My face? It’s fine, it’s good. Thank you for asking. I have a few stitches, I had a basal cell carcinoma taken out.’
Hugh has also urged his fans to protect themselves from the damaging rays of the sun and to get themselves seen by a medical professional as soon as they notice any abnormalities on their skin.
He said: ‘Tell all your readers: get check ups, wear sunscreen. It’s all about prevention.’
BCC is a treatable and common form of skin cancer signified by lesions or growths on the outermost layer of the skin that ‘often look like open sores, red patches and pink growths.
