Aussie woman reveals ‘terrifying’ cancer fear at just 24 years old

TikTok and OnlyFans star Anna Paul said she was “terrified” after doctors told her a mole on her stomach was turning cancerous.

Fortunately, the 24-year-old social media sensation quickly had the mole removed, but she has since warned her 2.9 million Instagram followers about the potentially fatal consequences of sunbathing.

After her terrifying health scare, tThe Australian social media influencer is urging her fans to get their skin checked and stay out of the sun.

Anna, Australia’s highest-earning OnlyFans creator, opened up to her followers on Thursday about her health anxiety, but didn’t say exactly when it happened.

Anna shares a close-up of her body in a yellow bikini on Instagram, pointing out a visible scar she has just below her navel after having a suspicious-looking birthmark removed.

She said that her fans often ask about the scar, and for the first time she spoke about it, explaining that it is due to the removal of a potentially cancerous birthmark.

“Everyone always asks me about the scar on my stomach,” Anna captioned the photo.

“I had a mole removed because it was turning into skin cancer.”

“The doctors wrote it down as URGENT!!!!! And were sooo concerned.

“I was so scared because I thought I should just book a skin check because I saw another influencer talking about it.”

Anna then said that she used to sunbathe as a teenager and begged her fans not to make the same mistake she did as the consequences could be potentially fatal.

She continued, “I tanned a lot from the ages of 14 to 18. Now you couldn’t pay me enough money in the world to get a tan.

Please be safe in the sun!!! Get your skin checked!!! I get one every six to 12 months.

‘Living is better than being brown. It is one of the leading causes of death in Australia and also the most preventable cancer.

“If you’ve never had a skin check, hit Instagram now and book one at your nearest clinic.”

The influencer has previously spoken about the importance of skin checks and said she believes it is important to raise awareness as it can save lives.

“I said something similar in my story a few years ago and a handful of people said they had skin checks and found skin cancer,” she added.

“They had no idea and my story rightly saved their lives.

“Even the tiniest moles can be deadly without you realizing it.

‘Please book a skin check. It’s worth it.’

Anna’s influence is huge after she quickly rose to fame on TikTok in 2020 by sharing lip sync videos and vlogs documenting her life.

She then moved on to a lucrative career by posting content on the subscription-based site OnlyFans, where she charges fans a fee in exchange for raunchy, nude photos and sassy comic videos.

Anna charges her subscribers $9.99 per month to view her spicy content.

She currently has 969,000 ‘likes’ on OnlyFans and has a reported net worth of AUD$10 million.

She has a flurry of teenage fans and made headlines last August after police shut down her meet-and-greet in Perth after too many people turned up and it descended into chaos.

Anna apologized unreservedly at the time, saying that neither she nor the organizers had expected such a high turnout, and they couldn’t handle it.
