Michael Clarke has undergone another skin cancer removal.

The renowned cricketer, who’s had multiple skincare operations throughout his life, recently used Instagram to inform followers about his health status and emphasize the importance of regular skin examinations.

Yet another day, another skin cancer was taken off – here’s the evidence from today,” he captioned a monochrome photo of himself, sporting a cast on his nose in an office setting.

‘Get your skin checked guys,’ he reminded his followers.

The individual, aged 44, not only recognized Dr. Bish Soliman but also commended him as a top-tier professional within his field.

Recently, Michael openly shared that the skin cancers he’s experienced have left him with the worry that he may not live long enough to be around for his daughter, Kelsey Lee.

He told the Daily Telegraph in 2023:  ‘It does scare me. I am a dad – I don’t want to go anywhere.

Ensuring I provide support for my seven-year-old girl is what truly matters to me, and in doing so, I hope to serve as a positive role model for her.

Instead of attributing his skin cancer struggles, the athlete suggests that prolonged sun exposure during his cricket career may have played a role in developing his skin cancers.

Picture spending an entire day on the field under the Indian sun, with hours upon hours of exposure. Many players are donning the baggy green cap, which means less protection for their ears and faces. This is what he shared with the publication.

‘You’ve got short-sleeved shirts so your arms and the tops of your hands (are exposed).

Previously in the same year, Clarke shared an Instagram photo featuring him in a hospital bed, dressed in a cap and gown.

‘Skin cancer Friday,’ he wrote in his caption, adding, ‘Go get checked please’. 

Clarke also underwent surgery in March 2022 to have a skin cancer removed from his forehead. 

In 2006, a man who is a parent to one child received his initial diagnosis for skin cancer. Since then, he has fought off the condition multiple times.

In an interview with Seven’s The Morning Show back in 2018, he mentioned that he undergoes regular health screenings anywhere from every six to twelve months.

In the year 2014, he featured in a promotional campaign by the Cancer Council, advocating that people should regularly monitor their skin closely.

He advised that both Australian men and women should regularly check their skin, focusing on areas that are more difficult to see, and become well-acquainted with their own bodies.
