“So today, I am getting a basal cell carcinoma removed from my head,” he said in a video message.
“Yes, that is an actual little skin cancer guy that has started to grow and now I have to get surgery to remove it.”
He showed followers the small red mark on his forehead that doctors were set to remove.
Jonas then picked up the camera again on the car on the way to his surgery.
“So, here we go!” he said ahead of the surgery.
He was then seen back in the same spot in a followup video, but this time sporting a bandage where the mark once was.
“All right, I’m all done,” Jonas said, teasing the gauze covering the surgery wound.
“Now it’s time to heal, I’m heading home but make sure to get those moles checked people.”
Jonas posted the video on Wednesday morning, captioned: “Friendly reminder to get your moles checked”.
“So sorry to hear about your BCC, Kevin,” Skin Cancer Organisation’s official account said. “Thank you for raising awareness. Early detection is key. Wishing you the best on your recovery journey.”
“Thank you for being real and honest about your situation. Skin cancer is always looked at from a ‘cut it off and done’ kinda cancer. You’re sharing opens doors for others to realise how important it is to check your skin!” a fan said.
“Omg Kevin you scared me so much. Love you, take care,” another wrote.
