Hugh Jackman continues to urge fans to wear sunscreen while he keeps them updated on his latest health scare.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the 52-year-old actor declared, "I promised I'd keep you updated," while indicating the bandage on his nose. "[The biopsy] came back inconclusive, which means they didn't quite take enough."
The Australian actor revealed he's about to start filming another project, so he and his doctors "didn't want to go too deep."

According to the Mayo Clinic, basal cell carcinoma can appear "as a slightly transparent bump on the skin, though it can take other forms" and it appears "most often on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as your head and neck."
The actor said he'll undergo another biopsy when filming wraps "in two months" and promised to let fans know the results.
"Wear sunscreen, get a skin check whenever you can," he urged before thanking his followers for their support.
Last week, Jackman told fans he had to undergo a biopsy and was awaiting the results after his doctor noticed something "a little irregular" on his skin.
