The chef and restorer of British celebrities Gordon Ramsay shared on Instagram on Saturday that he was diagnosed with skin cancer, which was eliminated.
The 58 -year -old burning TV personality shared an image of a bandage on part of his face and neck, and an image of stitches that he received just below his lobe, to his neck.
“Grateful and very grateful for the incredible team of The Skin Associates and its rapid reactive work to eliminate this basal cell carcinoma thanks!” Ramsay wrote in the title of his publication. “Please, don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend.”
Ramsay joked saying he didn’t get a face washing.
“I would need a refund,” he wrote.
Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that begins in basal cells, which produce new skin cells to replace those that die, according to the Mayo Clinic. This type of skin cancer occurs more frequently in parts of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as the head and neck, and can take many shapes on the skin, including a slightly transparent or brown bump.
“It is believed that most basal cell carcinomas are caused by long -term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation of sunlight,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “Avoiding sun and using sunscreen can help protect against basal cell carcinoma.”
Ramsay is the star behind multiple Reality Television programs, including “Hell’s Kitchen”, “Kitchen NightMares” and “Masterchef”. His last program, “Gordon Ramsay Secret Service” premiered in Fox this May.
Michelin stars also has and operates more than 80 restaurants worldwide, including more than 20 in the United States.
