Longtime Fox anchor Mike Jerrick, who co-hosts Good Day Philadelphia, was shocked when he discovered he had skin cancer during a live broadcast.

The segment involved a discussion with dermatologist Dr. Joanna Walker, who was sharing signs of skin cancer.

As it turns out, a spot on Jerrick’s own elbow had all the signs. Dr. Walker diagnosed him right then and there with basal cell skin cancer.

Luckily, she explained that it is “very treatable” and not likely to spread. But, she noted that he should have it “cut and stitched” off as soon as possible.

Mike Jerrick later spoke to Fox News about what was going on inside his mind at that moment:

“I did say that we should have her bring her [micro]scope because I wanted to check out a couple of things on my arms, so that part was planned, but I never really thought it was going to be skin cancer,” he said.

The dermatologist recognized it right away, Jerrick shared.

“When she blurted it out, I didn’t get alarmed or anything,” Jerrick said. “It was just like, ‘Oh dang, I should have done this a long time ago.’”

“I was more shocked that she said she was going to cut it out instead of burn it off — that’s where I got surprised.”

Jerrick is scheduled to have the cancerous spot removed on Friday.

“I should be fine,” he said. “She’ll just suture me up and I’ll be on my way.”

Many people have reached out to thank Jerrick for airing the segment.

To those with similar markings or skin changes, “it’s important to get those checked,” he advised.

Basal cell carcinoma, the type of skin cancer that Jerrick has, is the most common.

Now that we’re in the summer months, be sure to wear your sunscreen to protect yourself!

And, if you have any spots that look like Jerrick’s, get them checked ASAP.
