Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay shares photos of his basal cell carcinoma surgery scar and warns fans about sun protection after skin cancer removal.
Gordon Ramsay is serving up a serious health warning.
The celebrity chef revealed he recently had basal cell carcinoma removed and shared a photo of the scar with his 19.2 million Instagram followers.
„Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma thank you!“ he wrote.
„Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend“, he warned, and then quipped, „I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund…“
Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that typically appears as a white waxy lump or a brown scaly patch on sun-exposed areas, such as the face and neck, according to the Mayo Clinic. Limiting sun exposure can help prevent these cells from becoming cancerous.
