Joey Graceffa is giving insight into his health journey.

More than two years after seeing a new spot appear on his nose, the YouTuber shared he has been diagnosed with Basal cell carcinoma.

"So I have skin cancer," Graceffa said in a TikTok video posted Aug. 8, which showed him with a red spot on his nose. "Um, that's fun! No, it's not fun at all, actually. You can see it right there on my nose. It looks really crazy right now because I had to get a biopsy done to determine it was skin cancer."

The 33-year-old  he had noticed the mark on his nose "for maybe the past year and a half to two years" and had had several dermatologists look at it but had initially received a different diagnosis.

"Both have said it was a broken blood vessel," he noted. "But I recently went back in because when I was in Japan, it scabbed over and I was like, 'Hmm, why's it going that?' and she looked closer and she was like, 'Yeah, I kinda wanna do a biopsy on this.'"

 

But that initial procedure was difficult for him to endure.

"I literally passed out on the chair when the biopsy happened, not because it hurt or anything, but just because I am so queasy when it comes to anything gore or blood-related," he said. "And I have a very vivid imagination, so it was just like imagining what it looked like and I just passed out. And I woke up and they had a Capri Sun and gummy bears for me."

It was days later that he received his diagnosis with Basal cell carcinoma—is the most common form of skin cancer, according to the American Cancer Society—and he is currently exploring his treatment options.

"They recommended something called Mohs surgery," he said, "which is basically just cutting it out of my nose."

But that option is giving him little bit of pause. "If I passed out from just 40 seconds of the biopsy, how am I gonna last 45 minutes?" he explained. "I don't frickin' know. So I'm looking at other options right now."

Graceffa added that while he read about "some natural treatments," he is considering undergoing radiation. But until then, he’s keeping his head up as he begins the next step in his health process.

"I'm being level-headed about this, I think because it's a more treatable type of skin cancer," he expressed. "So, yeah, I'm just living my positive life with skin cancer on my nose."
