From Chapped Lips To Malignant Tissue: Eric Dane’s Skin Cancer Story

by Gloria Gamat on February 7th, 2008

Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan, Eric Dane himself has his own real life story to tell about a scary brush with skin cancer.

Dane opens up to OK! Magazine about his battle with skin cancer:

The actor first noticed a problem while looking in the mirror, at what he first thought were chapped lips.

“I went to my dermatologist. He said it was malignant tissue caused by sun damage,” Dane told OK! magazine.

He underwent a treatment procedure that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the cancer tissue. He was then given a cream for his lips to use following the treatment, to which he had a severe reaction.

“My skin is very sensitive and my lip was traumatized by the procedure I had to go through,” said Dane.

The actor’s lip complications from the cream made it extremely difficult for him to eat.

“I didn’t eat very well for a couple of weeks and lost a bunch of weight,” he told the magazine.
