American gamer and Twitch superstar, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, revealed he was diagnosed with melanoma, a form of skin cancer.

The 32-year-old, who boasts 19 million Twitch followers, shared his diagnosis in a post on X on Tuesday. “I’m still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated,” he said in the post.

His dermatologist determined Blevins had melanoma after removing a mole on the bottom of his foot during a routine skin check.

“They are optimistic that we caught it in the early stages,” Blevins wrote in the post.

He added that doctors also biopsied a second dark spot near the initial mole and removed a large area around the melanoma to determine whether they had successfully gotten all the cancerous tissue.

“I’m grateful to have hope in finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups,” Blevins said.

CNN reached out to Blevins for further comment.
