Now that Mark Hoppus is done with chemotherapy, his hair is starting to grow back. But there's just one problem: It's coming in white.

The blink-182 bandleader revealed his new 'do on Instagram. "I mean what the s*** is this?" he captioned a photo of the top of his head. "Is my hair growing back white? If it does I wonder if I’ll look more like George Clooney or Doc Brown? I feel like this is still the cancery peach fuzz hair and maybe my normal hair will start growing again?"

He then divulged that while the hair on his head is coming back, it's beginning to fall out in other places. "It’s so strange to have hair growing back more on my head while my leg hair continues to fall out further and further down, now at the bottom of my shins," Mark wrote. "I’ve been in chemotherapy for five months and TODAY the hair on my shins decides it’s time to peace out? Cancer is weird."

Last week, Mark shared a message with fans letting them know he was done with treatment. "Today I'm grateful to not be going in for chemotherapy," he tweeted. "It's been three weeks since my last treatment. Normally I'd be going in today. 'Normally.' Damn. Getting pumped full of poison every three weeks is my normal. On the 29th I get scanned and will know if it worked."

Mark has been fighting stage four diffuse large B-cell lymphoma since April and publicly revealed his diagnosis in June. A month later he announced the good news that chemo was working, so fingers crossed his next scan is just as positive.
