Actor Hugh Jackman says that he went through a second surgery and got another Basal-cell carcinoma removed from his nose.

Jackman took to Instagram and posted a photo of his bandaged nose, reports eonline.com.

He also wrote: "All out now. Thanks doctor Album and Doctor Arian. Please! Please! Wear Sunscreen!"

A Basal-cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and is usually entirely treatable, though it can spread and cause damage to surrounding tissue.

The actor went under the first surgery and got one tissue removed in November and his experience could be a lesson for everyone about the necessity of a good SPF (Sun protection factor).
