Jane, 62, shared a photo of herself looking tearful along with an arrow pointing to a small freckle on her face.

Concern: Ricky Gervais’ partner Jane Fallon, 62, cried on Twitter on Tuesday as she revealed she had a ‘worrying’ skin cancer scare and fears surgery will leave a scar on her face
Helping: She got a lot of reassurance from her followers and sent kind comments
One of them wrote: ‘My mother suddenly had a lot of it growing on her face. They have all been removed. Minimal scars.’
She replied, “I think getting older will just be an endless stream of things growing and disappearing.”
Someone else tried to make her laugh and wrote: “Look, it will soon have its own Twitter account.”
Jane shared a laughing GIF in response.
She thanked another fan who suggested a product that would help the healing process somewhat.
Jane has been in a relationship with The Office star Ricky, 61, for 39 years and he is now reportedly worth £128 million.
She supported him financially and emotionally when he was an aspiring pop star in the 1980s.
Jane was the sole earner, earning £40 a week in a theater agency and learning to become a script editor. She walked to and from work to save money and shopped for bargains at the local Safeway.

They were too poor to afford the constant supply of 50p coins needed to keep the heating going, and they froze every winter.
They were both working class, met at university in London and lived above a brothel in King’s Cross, where for many years they subsisted on little more than beans and rice.
Speaking about why they never tied the knot, Jane previously said, “It’s not that I’m anti-marriage. It just never really interested me.’
She added, “Having kids was always something I didn’t feel like I wanted to do. I just never thought I’d be a good mother.
“I see people who are good at parenting and I don’t know how they do it. How can they be so relaxed?’
The pair now own several properties around the world, including homes in London, Los Angeles and New York City.
Meanwhile, Ricky is an avid philanthropist and last year used part of the proceeds from his ticket sales for the Supernature tour to donate to charity.
He split £427,243.42 from ticket sales from his Supernature UK tour between three animal charities: International Animal Rescue, Animals Asia and Nowzad.
The equal split gave each charity a donation of £142,414.47.
Ricky said of the donation, “It’s such a privilege to be able to help animals in need simply by doing work that I already love.”
