Overview
- Speaking on The Howard Stern Show on Dec. 10, the 57-year-old detailed a years-long pattern of diagnoses and procedures.
- He said all six cases were basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancer and typically curable when treated early.
- His doctor has warned that additional diagnoses are likely as he ages because past sun damage can manifest many years later.
- Jackman traced his first removal to 2013 after Deborra-Lee Furness and a makeup artist flagged a spot on his nose; he has since had three more removed from his nose and one from his shoulder.
- He now gets dermatology checks about every three months and urges sunscreen use and routine exams, calling skin cancer highly preventable.
