WASHINGTON — Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay revealed his recent skin cancer diagnosis on social media. 

The “Hell’s Kitchen” host shared details of his health diagnosis on Aug. 30 after he had a basal cell carcinoma removed from the side of his face. The 58-year-old chef posted two photos of the aftermath of his surgery, one showing a bandage on the side of his face and the other showing stitching below his earlobe. 

“Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma thank you ! Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend ❤️I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund…….😜,” Ramsay said on his Instagram. 

Ramsay’s family showed support online, with his daughter Holly commenting “Love you dad.”

What is basal cell carcinoma?

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer and the most curable form. It’s considered highly treatable, especially when caught early. It is a slow-growing cancer that usually is confined to the surface of skin — doctors almost always can remove it all with a shallow incision — and seldom causes serious complications or becomes life-threatening.

Skin cancer typically develops on areas of sun-exposed skin, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms, hands and on the legs, the Mayo Clinic says. It can also form on areas that rarely see the light of day, such as the palms, beneath fingernails or toenails, and in the genital area.
