Taking to her Instagram Stories page, Jackie revealed it was skin cancer.

“#Skincancer,” she captioned a snap, with an arrow pointing to the injury.

“Don’t let our kids make the same mistakes. Slip slop slap,” she added.

Back in September, the KIIS FM breakfast radio host announced on the Kyle and Jackie O Show that she had been diagnosed with skin cancer – revealing she needed it removed and it would leave a scar.

The 43-year-old told her co-host Kyle Sandilands, “I know you like to make fun of me so I’m just going to give you the heads up about something that’s going to be happening,”

“I’m going to have a big scar on my forehead, I’m going to have stitches. Don’t call me Scarface, don’t tease me about it but it’s happening soon.”

Jackie further explained that since the cancer was on her face, it would be harder to conceal after it had been removed.

“The worst part is you could [usually] cover it with hair, like I could do a swooping [fringe] – you know, like I usually do with my hair,” the star said.

“But exactly where the scar is, that’s where my cowlick is, so it always separates. So it’s like a little curtain opening. I can’t even hide it with hair,” she explained.
