Michael Clarke opens up about battle with skin cancer: ‘I had one (cut out) about four weeks ago off my nose’

Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke recently opened up about his ongoing fight with skin cancer, revealing that he has had a number of cut outs on his face and has to consult a dermatologist every six months for treatment. Clarke had his first skin cancer removed in 2006 when he was still playing cricket for Australia, but had been getting regular check-ups done from an early age. Clarke has now accepted that his skin was just something he needed to keep a close eye on for the rest of his life. In 2023, Clarke joined the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation to raise awareness on the matter.

“I’ve got a number cut outs of my face. I had one about four weeks ago off my nose. I see my dermatologist every six months. The sunspots I get frozen. Normally, if they’re basal cell I get them cut out. I think I’ve had seven cut out of my face. You can’t hide them,” he said on ‘The Kyle and Jackie O’ show.
