Kevin Jonas Reveals He Had a Skin Cancer Spot Removed: ‘Get Those Moles Checked’

Kevin Jonas is currently in recovery after doctors removed a skin cancer spot from his forehead — and he wants to remind fans to stay vigilant, too.

In an Instagram video posted Tuesday (June 11), the Jonas Brothers rocker revealed that he was recently diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma, which he had to get surgery to remove. “Yes, that is an actual little skin cancer guy that has started to grow,” he says in the clip shortly before his procedure, giving the camera a close-up of a reddish spot near his hairline.

Jonas also filmed a post-surgery shot of his bandages, as well as his drive home from the hospital. “I’m all done,” he says in the car. “Now it’s time to heal. Heading home. Make sure to get those moles checked, people.”

Trending on Billboard

In his caption, the Camp Rock star doubled down on his message. “Friendly reminder to get your moles checked,” he wrote.

According to Mayo Clinic, the type of cancer Jonas was treated for begins in the basal cells, which are responsible for producing new skin cells as old ones die off. Believed to be caused by long-term exposure to the sun’s UV rays, it often appears as a slightly transparent bump on the skin but can take other forms.

The “Sucker” musician’s procedure comes amid a break in the Jonas Brothers’ tour. Kevin and brothers Joe and Nick will resume the trek in August with a string of shows in Mexico before heading overseas for a European leg.
