Michael Clarke, 40, has skin cancer removed from his forehead

Michael Clarke has revealed doctors have removed skin cancer from his forehead this week, two years after he underwent the very same procedure. 

The 40-year-old confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

Alongside a photo of his face with a plaster above his eyebrow, he wrote: ‘Another check up, another cancer cut out.’

‘Go get yourself checked!’ he added.

Michael previously had a skin cancer cut out of his forehead in September 2019. 

In a post on Instagram at the time, Michael shared a black and white photo of himself showing off the stitches between his eyebrows.

‘Another day, another skin cancer cut out of my face…’ he captioned the post, before adding a warning for others.

He told Seven’s The Morning Show in 2018 that he goes for a routine check-up every six to 12 months.

In 2014, Michael appeared in an ad campaign for the Cancer Council, where he advised fans to ‘keep a close eye’ on their skin.

He said: ‘Aussie blokes and women need to keep a close eye on your skin, particularly look in those hard to see places, and familiarise yourself with your body.’
