Actor Hugh Jackman, famous for his role in the Hollywood movie ‘Wolverine’, has recently revealed that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Hugh Jackman said in a video posted on social media the day before yesterday (5th) in local time, “The result of the biopsy came out negative,” and said, “Although the basal cells of the skin are still present, it is known to be the least dangerous in the world of skin cancer.” .
He said, “I want to remind you of this opportunity,” and asked, “Make sure to apply sunscreen.”
CNN reported that basal cell carcinoma of the skin is one of the most common cancers in the United States, and treatment is highly effective if detected early.
The Skin Cancer Foundation of America says that skin cancer is often caused by exposure to the sun or tanning indoors, and wearing sunscreen daily and avoiding strong sunlight can reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.
