BRAVE! everyone should check their marks. but doing it on time it’s the best! always! go for it, hugh!
And please avoid sitting in the sun for hours and tanning salons!
Basil is an herb while ‘basal’ is a location of a carcinoma.
Glad you got it removed, Hugh.
Hugh is a great actor and a nice guy in real life. Really good to his fans too. I hope he fully recovers.
Everyone, please get any skin mark checked out. Especially if you have fair skin.
A family member had an irritation in the inner corner of his eye. His eye was watering. He delayed going to the doctor. When he did, it was found to be carcinoma.
Shocked by the news. Hope he fully recovers.
He’s adorable, I love him
Oh Hugh( get well soon!!!
