According to the Mayo Clinic, basal cell carcinoma can appear \"as a slightly transparent bump on the skin, though it can take other forms\" and it appears \"most often on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as your head and neck.\"

The actor said he'll undergo another biopsy when filming wraps \"in two months\" and promised to let fans know the results.

\"Wear sunscreen, get a skin check whenever you can,\" he urged before thanking his followers for their support.

Last week, Jackman told fans he had to undergo a biopsy and was awaiting the results after his doctor noticed something \"a little irregular\" on his skin.

The actor admitted in a 2015 interview with ABC News that he spent most of his childhood playing in the hot Australia sun and neglected to protect his skin -- resulting in him being diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, in 2013.

He also shared his type of cancer is \"the mildest form but serious, nonetheless.\"

In the years since, Jackman's stressed the importance of wearing sunscreen and getting regular medical checkups.
