Sydney, Australia: Australian movie star Hugh Jackman has again undergone treatment for skin cancer, urging people today to wear sunscreen and have regular check-ups.
The 47-year-old first had a basal cell carcinoma removed in 2013 after his wife Deborra-Lee Furness told him to get a mark on his nose checked.
He has been treated several times since.
"An example of what happens when you don't wear sunscreen," he tweeted, alongside a photo of himself with a plaster over his nose.
"Basal Cell. Mildest form of cancer. Use Sunscreen Please!!"
