Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has revealed that he removed yet another Basal-cell carcinoma from his nose.

Less than six months after the 'Les Miserables' star underwent surgery on a basal cell carcinoma, Jackman has revealed he has had another procedure, reported E!Online.

Posting a photo of his bandaged nose on Instagram on May 8, the 45-year-old Australian actor wrote, "Another Basel Cell Carsinoma (sic). All out now. Thanks Dr Albom and Dr 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.
 

Jackman also had one removed in November.
