Kevin Nash has procedure done to remove skin cancer

Kevin Nash recently had a procedure done to remove skin cancer from his face. 

Nash spoke about having been diagnosed with Basal cell carcinoma on his Kliq This podcast, and showed an image of where doctors cut the cancerous area from his left cheek. 

Nash said he's dealt with numerous skin damage related issues over the years and cited his history of using tanning beds as the reason. 

"For everybody out there that is - I'm 64 years old - and all this damage is from when we were kids," Nash said. "All this skin damage is from when we were kids and I religiously - and I know you do too, Sean, because we've had this conversation - go to a dermatologist every three months and have yourself checked out." 

"I know exactly why I have these problems. I've had several things cut off me. It was the 25 years plus of laying in tanning beds in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and everywhere else that had no sun because we had Monday Night Raw and there wasn't an alternative."

Nash joins Tommy Dreamer and Alexa Bliss as wrestlers who have dealt with skin cancer in 2023. All three have stated their history of using tanning beds is why they developed the cancer. Dreamer noted on his House of Hardcore podcast that he recently had a procedure done to remove skin cancer, his third time being diagnosed with it. Bliss also had a procedure done to remove Basal cell carcinoma earlier this year.
