"Hey guys. So I wanted you to hear it from me just in case someone sees me on the street or whatever. I've just had two biopsies done, I just went to my doctor," the star began.
"She just saw little things – could be or could not be basal cell, in her opinion. She doesn’t know. I'll find out in two or three days, and as soon as I know, I'll let you know."
Jackman went on to remind followers that "basal cells in the world of skin cancers is the least dangerous of them all", though reminded fans to wear sunscreen.
You’ve heard me talk about my basal cell carcinomas before. And I’m going to keep talking about them, if need be. If just one person remembers to put on sunscreen with a high SPF, I’m happy. pic.twitter.com/J1srAzWQt0
