Hugh Jackman's Skin Cancer Scare and Urging for Sunscreen Use

Hugh Jackman has received a negative result from two biopsies after his doctor noticed potential signs of Basal Cell Carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. The actor, who has had six skin cancers removed from his face in the past, urged fans to practice sun safety and wear sunscreen with a high SPF. Jackman's childhood was spent outdoors without protective ointments such as sunscreen, and he hopes that sharing his experiences will remind people to take precautions against skin cancer.
