The actor has since had multiple skin biopsies done on his nose -- using his health struggle as an opportunity to urge his fans to "please get skin checks often, please don't think it won't happen to you."

The supermodel shared that, at the end of her daughter's appointment, she asked the doctor, " 'Do you think you could just look at this?' ... He looked and he goes,'We've got to do a biopsy immediately.'"
While Brinkley is now in the clear, she urged her followers to "make your own good luck by making that check-up appointment today. And slather up my friends!"

"[I] had a squamous cell tumor taken out of my lip, probably like five or six years ago," he continued.
Roddick added, "I think I'm going to be a general kind of hatchet job for the rest of my life. [I] won't go into the 'woe was me' part of it because nothing is wrong; everything is good but -- use sunscreen."
Roddick, who shares son Hank, 11, and daughter Stevie, 9, with wife Brooklyn Decker, 39, urged his fans to,"Put sunscreen on your kids, especially if they are tennis players."

In September 2024, Arroyave was diagnosed with her 13th melanoma.

"I would never, ever have considered putting on sunscreen to drive," Campbell, a Toronto Blue Jays sportscaster for Sportsnet, told TODAY.
But as Campbell shared, his dermatologist told him that he had precancerous skin growths -- the result of sun exposure from his car window.
The red marks came from photodynamic therapy, which he explained entailed applying a cream, called a photosensitizing agent, to his face for three hours.
The cream kills precancerous cells under red light, something Campbell told TODAY felt like "someone holding a blowtorch to your face."
He said he shared his story to alert others about the hidden dangers of not wearing sunscreen -- even when you're just driving.
"The benefit of me doing this is that I have heard from many, many people who have changed their habits," he told TODAY.

"That spot ended up being nothing," King said. "I pointed out every other random spot on my body I'd been concerned about and she noticed a spot on my back that I never noticed. She took a biopsy; called me back week later told me it was basal cell carcinoma."
"I've got that freckly-Irish skin [and] I'm very sensitive to the sun," King said. "I've always been concerned about the really scary-looking skin cancer spots and I never realized that what I have is cancerous."
Fitness icon Simmons previously shared that he'd called his dermatologist after noticing "this strange-looking bump under my right eye."
"He told me he would have to scrape it and put it under the microscope," Simmons wrote on in a March 2024 Facebook post. "Now I am getting a little bit nervous. He comes back about 20 minutes later and says the C word. 'You have cancer.' "
Specifically, he had basal cell carcinoma, and had to undergo three painful procedures where he said the doctor had to "burn my skin to remove the cancer cells."
"There was no numbing it just had to be done with a small instrument. As he started burning my skin a tear dropped down my cheek....The burning really hurt my skin."
But as Simmons said, "third time was a charm," sharing that after the third procedure, the doctor told him,''We got all the cancer cells out."
Simmons died in 2024 due to complications from falls and heart disease as a contributing factor. He was 76.
