The 36-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that he has been suffering from the disease and to launch a new unisex skincare line along with German tennis star Angelique Kerber.
German news outlet Bild report that speculation about Neuer's condition began in December 2021, when he was seen wearing a plaster on his face for Bayern's Champions League fixture against Barcelona.
Neuer now has a facial scar following three separate surgeries, while Kerber – a three-time Grand Slam winner – has suffered from sun-induced hyperpigmentation of the skin caused by exposure to the sun.
Speaking in a video on Instagram, Neuer said: "We both have a history of skin diseases. In my case, skin cancer on my face, which required three surgeries. When it comes to sunscreen, we have therefore paid attention to maximum protection.
