Popular YouTuber and professional gamer known as 'Ninja', real name is Tyler Blevins, has been diagnosed with skin cancer at the age of 32.
Doctors spotted a worrying mole during his check-up: "There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful. It came back as melanoma, but they are optimistic that we caught it in the early stages." Melanoma, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a skin cancer type that begins in cells called melanocytes, responsible for the skin's colour. It commonly impacts sun-exposed skin, but occasionally occurs in other areas like the eyes or internal body.
Ninja has had messages of support from mates and fans online since he shared his news. Twitch streamer, Madeyewlook said: "I had melanoma on my lower back a few years ago, it is SO scary to hear. Areas that don't get sun and have moles are spots to extra keep track of. Funny enough, I wanted mine removed off my lower back just because it was in the center of my body and driving me crazy. Good thing.
