Janelle Brown is opening up about her recent cancer scare. The Sister Wives star, 54, revealed on Monday that she had to have two pre-cancerous spots removed.

“Posting this picture as a reminder to get your skin checked,” Brown’s caption read alongside a snap of stitches on her lip. “Even if you have ALWAYS been careful about sunscreen. I am and always have been. You have to when you are as fair as I am.”

“I had a basal cell carcinoma removed right after Covid,” she added. “I go in annually to have a head to toe check. Today I had 2 pre-cancerous spots frozen and a tiny lump removed from my lip.”

She continued, “Yes it’s a pain to schedule the appointment when you are busy. And yes there is a small amount of discomfort. But 2 pre-cancerous spots stopped in their tracks.”

“Worth it,” she concluded her post, which included the hashtags, #skincancerprevention #maketheappointment #theworldneedsyou #yourfamilyneedsyou.
