Gordon Ramsay<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about a recent health scare.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrateful and so appreciate for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma thank you !\u201d Ramsay, 58, shared via Instagram on Saturday, August 30, along with photographs of the cut and stitches he received from the surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t forget your sunscreen this weekend,\u201d the chef added. \u201cI promise you it\u2019s not a face lift! I\u2019d need a refund\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n

The first photo shared by the Kitchen Nightmares<\/em> star shows the famous chef bandaged just below the ear and along the left side of his face. The second photo shows the chef\u2019s incision \u2014 an inch or so cut \u2014 with what appeared to be close to seven or eight stitches.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGordon Ramsay urges cyclists to \u201cwear a helmet\u201d after suffering injuries due to a frightening bicycle accident in Connecticut. \u201cUnfortunately, I had a really bad accident and it really shook me. And honestly, I\u2019m lucky to be here,\u201d the MasterChef host, 57, shared via an Instagram video on Saturday, June 15. Ramsay thanked the nurses [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A basal cell carcinoma is \u201ca type of skin cancer that most often develops on areas of skin exposed to the sun, such as the face,\u201d according to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>. The cancer often appears as a growth or a sore that doesn\u2019t heal, and can look like a shiny, skin-colored bump, a brown, black or blue lesion, a flat, scaly patch of skin or a white, waxy, scar-like lesion.<\/p>\n

Many friends, fans and organizations were quick to share their well wishes with the celebrity chef in the comments section.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cGlad to hear you\u2019re doing well, Gordon, and thanks for raising awareness of how important it is to stay safe in the sun,\u201d the official Instagram account for Cancer Research UK wrote. \u201cSeek shade, cover up, and apply sunscreen regularly and generously.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo glad you\u2019re safe and thanks for the reminder,\u201d fellow chef Megan Keno<\/strong> wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope you continue to recover from this,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove you dad,\u201d Ramsay\u2019s daughter, Holly Anna, also wrote. (The reality TV chef shares six kids, Megan, Holly Anna, Jack Scott, Matilda, Oscar Jamees and Jesse James with his wife, Tana Ramsay<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Gordon\u2019s cancer diagnosis is not the first health scare he has navigated as of late \u2014 in September 2024, the chef revealed he suffered a catastrophic bike accident.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life flashed before me,\u201d Ramsay told Men\u2019s Health UK<\/em><\/a>. \u201c[I was] traveling down the hill quite fast, no other cars involved. The front wheel went down a pothole, and the whole bike just catapulted me. I struggled to breathe. I thought I was going to pass out. Stupidly, the bike was mangled, and I put the chain back on. Then, like an idiot with adrenaline, I started f***g riding again.\u201d<\/p>\n
