Australian actor Hugh Jackman has had his sixth skin cancer removed.
The X-Men star posted a photograph on Instagram, showing him with a plaster across his nose.
He told his 9.7 million followers: “Another basal cell carcinoma.
“Thanks to frequent body checks and amazing doctors, all is well.
“Looks worse with the dressing on than off. I swear!”
Hugh, 48, warned people to protect themselves from the sun, adding the hashtag “#wearsunscreen”.
The father-of-two had his first skin cancer removed in 2013 after his actress wife Deborra-Lee Furness suggested he should get a mole on his nose checked.

He wrote on social media at the time: “Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right!
“I had a Basal Cell Carcinoma. Please don’t be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!”
The star’s fifth skin cancer was removed in February last year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
