Melanie Griffith has had an intense 12 months after divorcing her long-time love Antonio Banderas and now the National Enquirer report it’s about to get even harder for the star.
Earlier in the month, the mum-of-three was spotted make-up free after one of her regular gym sessions in Los Angeles sporting a nasty sore on her nose.
American skin specialist, Dr Stuart Fischer explained to the National Enquirer after observing an image of red lesion that it could be skin cancer.
“This is almost always a clear sing on skin cancer and it like a horrific case. On a scale of seriousness, it’s at least a seven out of 10,” the doctor, who hasn’t treated Melanie, shared with the publication.
The painful lesion raises concern given Melanie’s medical history.
Dakota Johnson’s mum battled skin cancer in 2009. At the time Melanie was 52-years-old when she was spotted with a black eye. The scary images sparked chatter about potential marriage troubles, but the actress confirmed she acquired the shiner during surgery to remove the early stages of skin cancer from her face.
Her spokesman, Robin Baum, said the cancer-removing procedure had been performed early enough to prevent further complications.
Due to her health battle, the starlet was forced to be weary of her sun intake.
In spite of that the Melanie was focused on living life to the fullest, accepting a role on Hawaii Five-0 at the end of 2013.
The actress’ short stint on the summery detective show saw her frequent the stunning Hawaiian beaches.
These days the blonde beauty has been focusing on her three children, Stella, Dakota Johnson, 25, and son Alexander Bauer, 29.
The proud mama has been sharing sweet snaps showcasing their time together on her Instagram account.
Time with her loved-one has given Melanie a chance wipe her slate clean and remove reminders of her past relationship.
Once she and Antonio’s decided to ‘”thoughtfully and consensually” end their relationship after 18 years of marriage, Melanie has begun revitalising her life.
The starlet has been spotted getting active and she has even begun the process to remove her iconic love heart tattoo that was once dedicated to her now-ex hubby.
The Working Girl actress just celebrated her 58th birthday and has been embracing singledom.
Her best friend Kris Jenner shared this sweet message on social medial: “To my beautiful, kind, sweet, generous, talented, strong, super smart, and amazing girlfriend… You are so fabulous and I feel so blessed to have you in my life. You are a bright light to all who have the pleasure to know you. I love you Melanie!!!!”
