He told his followers to wear sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"1074\">Gordon captioned his post: &#8220;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\u2019t forget your sunscreen this weekend. I promise you it\u2019s not a facelift! I\u2019d need a refund.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1404\">BCC is usually linked to UV exposure and tends to show up on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and hands. It\u2019s often highly treatable, especially when caught early, but it\u2019s still cancer, and hearing a doctor say that word is terrifying, no matter how \u201ccommon\u201d the diagnosis is.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1937\">How is his health now?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0
