Janelle Brown’s Cancer Scare: A Reminder to Get Your Skin Checked

Janelle Brown, the beloved star of Sister Wives, is bravely sharing her recent health journey, hoping to inspire others to take preventative measures. At 54, Janelle recently underwent a procedure to remove two pre-cancerous spots, a stark reminder that vigilance is key when it comes to skin health.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Janelle shared a photo showcasing stitches on her lip, turning a personal experience into a powerful message. “Posting this picture as a reminder to get your skin checked,” she wrote, emphasizing that even those diligent about sunscreen aren’t immune. “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.”

Janelle’s commitment to annual skin checks led to the early detection of these pre-cancerous spots. “I had a basal cell carcinoma removed right after Covid,” she revealed. “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.”

Acknowledging the inconvenience and slight discomfort associated with these appointments, Janelle stressed their importance. “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.”

Her message is clear: early detection can be life-saving. “Worth it,” she declared, concluding her post with the hashtags #skincancerprevention, #maketheappointment, #theworldneedsyou, and #yourfamilyneedsyou.

This isn’t the first time Janelle has spoken out about skin cancer. Back in 2021, she shared her diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma, a non-malignant form of skin cancer. In an Instagram post, she explained that viewers had noticed a blemish above her lip during Sister Wives episodes, prompting her to seek medical advice.

Initially, Janelle thought the mark was just a cold sore, a recurring issue for her. “I started to see what looked like a scar develop in an area on my lip where all of my cold sores for the past two decades have erupted.” But when it didn’t develop like a typical cold sore, she grew concerned.

As the mark slowly grew, Janelle tried treating it with scar medication. However, after pandemic-related delays, she finally saw a doctor and received the diagnosis. Janelle’s story serves as a powerful reminder to prioritize our health and listen to our bodies. Regular skin checks can make all the difference.
