X-men actor Hugh Jackman (46) received third treatment.

He was diagnosed with skin cancer in November 2013. He received treatment immediately and he received his second treatment to remove the cancerous cells in May this year.

The actor's rep told E! News that Jackman is "all good" now. 

Fortunately for his fans, the skin cancer the actor has been subdued and in minor form.

The skin cancer is normally caused by longer exposure to UV rays without proper protection of sun block cream.

The actor is suspecting the reason he got the non melanoma skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma is because he did not put sun block on while staying out in the sun and his European descent.

After going through second treatment, Jackman posted a photo of his nose bandaged and wrote, "Another Basel Cell Carsinoma. All out now. Thanks Dr. Albom and Dr. Arian. PLEASE! PLEASE! WEAR SUNSCREEN!"
