Former President Biden underwent a procedure recently to have skin cancer removed from his forehead, a spokesperson confirmed to The Hill on Thursday.
A Biden spokesperson told The Hill that the former president had Mohs surgery, a procedure where surgeons cut away thin layers of skin, examining each for signs of cancer, until no signs are found.
Video had in recent days circulated on social media of Biden exiting church in Delaware with a visible scar on his forehead.
The Associated Press first reported on Biden’s procedure.
The former president previously had non-melanoma skin cancers removed before his White House term. He also had a cancerous lesion removed from his chest during a 2023 physical exam while in the White House.
Biden in May announced he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. He has made a few public appearances since that announcement.
The former president is 82. President Trump and other Republicans have aggressively pushed claims that Biden was not fit for office during his term and that others were making decisions for him, something Biden and his top aides have repeatedly refuted.
