After a fan re-posted the photo to Twitter and sent well-wishes on March 21, the athlete gave an update on her recovery and sent an important reminder.

"Thank you!" she replied. "Don't worry, short healing time. Always get your skin checked! Esp if you are in the sun or use tanning beds! Lol."

After sharing her experience, The Masked Singer contestant received an outpouring of supportive message.

"Glad to hear that you went in when you noticed something like that, and knew that something wasn't right once it started to get worse," one social media user wrote. "Early detection is key!"
