Michael Clarke Details Ongoing Skin Cancer Fight, Says Lesion Was Removed From Nose Last Month

Clarke describes routine treatment shaped by years of sun exposure during his career.

Overview

  • He told The Kyle and Jackie O Show he has had multiple melanomas removed over the years and most recently had one taken off his nose about four weeks ago.
  • He said he sees a dermatologist every six months, gets sunspots frozen, and has basal cell lesions excised, estimating about seven removals from his face.
  • Clarke’s first diagnosis dates to 2006, with documented recurrences including three non‑melanoma lesions taken from his face in 2019.
  • In August he posted an Instagram photo with a plaster on his nose urging followers to get checked and credited surgeon Dr Bish Soliman for early detection.
  • He links his vulnerability to long days in the sun as a cricketer and has spoken about the personal worry of staying healthy for his daughter.
