Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!" the Australian actor said in the Instagram caption.Representatives for Jackman had no updates on the actor's condition beyond his Instagram post.Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and accounts for more than 90% of US skin cancer patients. The cancer rarely spreads but if not removed can damage and disfigure surrounding tissue.Jackman is one of Hollywood's leading action stars, best known for playing Wolverine in the X-Men films.
