Kevin Jonas, the star of Jonas Brothers, disclosed that he had a malignant mole removed off his face.
The musician and performer shared a brief video on Instagram discussing his diagnosis.
“I am having a basal cell carcinoma removed from my head today,” he announced, displaying the mole on his forehead to his admirers.
“Yes, that is an actual little skin cancer guy that just started to grow.”I now need to have surgery to get rid of it. So let’s get started.”
After the procedure, he gave a brief update, stating that it was “time to heal and go home”.
The most prevalent kind of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma, which 90% of cases of non-melanoma skin cancer respond well to therapy, according to the NHS.
Compared to non-melanoma skin cancer, elanoma skin cancer is less prevalent and typically more serious.
Jonas reminded his fans to have their moles examined in a “friendly reminder” description for the video.
A growth or odd area on the skin is the primary symptom of non-melanoma skin cancer, according to the NHS.
Although it can affect any region of your skin, sun-exposed parts are the most commonly afflicted.
The growths or patches might differ in size, texture, and color. Cancerous patches can have a variety of hues, such as red, brown, and purple.
