Joe Biden recently underwent surgery to treat skin cancer, according to a spokesperson. The procedure, known as Mohs surgery, involves removing thin layers of skin until no signs of cancer remain, ensuring healthy tissue is preserved. This method is commonly used for basal cell carcinoma, the most prevalent form of skin cancer.

The 82-year-old president was seen with a visible head wound in recent photos and videos, sparking public concern. While the exact timing of the surgery remains unclear, Biden’s medical team confirmed he is recovering well. This follows a 2023 procedure to remove a cancerous lesion from his chest, also diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Doctors at the time stated all cancerous tissue was successfully eliminated without further treatment required.

Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, also underwent surgery in 2023 to address separate skin lesions, both identified as basal cell carcinoma. Meanwhile, the president’s health has faced ongoing challenges, including a recent diagnosis of Stage 4 prostate cancer that spread to his bones. His medical team described the condition as highly aggressive, with a severe Gleason score and Grade Group rating.

Social media has circulated footage of Biden’s head scar, adding to public scrutiny of his health. The latest developments highlight growing concerns about the president’s physical well-being during his term.
