That's scary.

Hugh Jackman has had his sixth skin cancer removed from his face.

The Wolverine actor, 48, took to social media to share with his fans the aftermath of having "another basal cell carcinoma" cut from his nose.

What's even more scary is that I've had 37 basal cell carcinoma removed from my face/nose/ears.

OMG!!!!!! so glad you're ok after all that

I'm glad that Hugh is so open with it. He brings a lot of awareness just by posting pics of his bandaged face. Folks were commenting on the post about how they got their skin checked after the last time he posted a pic, and they ended up having BCC removed.

Dude needs to stay indoors, mate!

Well, it's tough for someone like him to stay indoors, but he does slather with sunscreen and wears large brimmed hats.

He ain't no Wolverine! (ie; healing factor)

Basal cells are pretty common and usually do no harm.

This is what I suspect. If he didn't have insurance, he'd probably be told to just keep an eye on it.
