Twitch streamer Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins urged fans to 'get skin checkups' as he reveals he has been diagnosed with melanoma, a dangerous skin cancer.
Popular Twitch streamer and gamer Ninja says he has been diagnosed with melanoma, a form of skin cancer. The 32-year-old internet star — whose birth name is Tyler Blevins — offered his millions of X followers a glimpse of his health, detailing a recent checkup for a mole on his foot. 'Alright I'm still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated,' he tweeted Tuesday afternoon. He shared the same message to his Instagram story.
Grateful and hopeful that his dermatologists caught the cancer early, Blevins urged his fans to take stock of their own health and see his diagnosis 'as a PSA to get skin checkups.' Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that occurs when pigment-producing skin cells called melanocytes 'start to grow out of control,' according to the American Cancer Society.
