Hugh Jackman's Skin Cancer Scare Prompts Urgent Sunscreen Reminder

Hugh Jackman recently revealed in an Instagram video that he is wearing a nose bandage due to a skin cancer scare and advised people to wear sunscreen — especially as summer approaches in the Northern Hemisphere. Basal cell carcinoma, a slow-growing cancer that is the most common type in humans, typically occurs on sun-damaged skin. Jackman noted that basal cell carcinoma is “the least dangerous of them all,” and there are ways to treat it. The best way to prevent skin cancer is to limit sun exposure and wear sunscreen.
