Kevin Jonas, known for being the third member of the boy band the “Jonas Brothers,” shared on social media that he underwent surgery to remove skin cancer.
In a June 11 post, he captioned a clip of himself at a medical facility before and after the procedure with “Friendly reminder to get your moles checked 🙏.”
At the start of the video, Jonas is depicted reclining for the selfie footage.
“So today I am getting a basal cell carcinoma removed from my head,” he remarked as he adjusted the camera to focus on the precise location of the skin abnormality.
“Yes, that is a actual little skin cancer guy that started to grow, and now I have to get surgery to remove it.”
Mayo Clinic states that basal cell carcinoma is a form of skin cancer that originates in the basal cells, which are responsible for generating new skin cells as old ones perish.
The medical institution further explains that it frequently manifests as a slightly translucent bump on the skin, although it can also present in other shapes and forms.
“So here we go,” stated the former Camp Rock actor, before the video transitioned to a segment showing him post-removal of the basal cell carcinoma.
“Make sure to get those moles checked, people!”
The surgery of the "What A Man Gotta Do" singer conveniently coincided with the Jonas Brothers' hiatus from touring, with their most recent show being held on April 30 in Cancún, Mexico.
The renowned siblings will resume their tour on August 21 in Mexico City.
