Former President Joe Biden recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer lesions on his forehead.
His spokesperson Kelly Scully confirmed the surgery after Inside Edition published video of Biden leaving church in Delaware with a fresh scar on his forehead.
Two years ago, while Biden was in office, he had a lesion removed from his chest. The lesion was basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer.
Biden received Mohs surgery, a technique for treating the most common skin cancers and certain rare forms, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
During the procedure, doctors remove thin layers of skin, one layer at a time, and examine each under a microscope to determine if any cancer remains, according to Johns Hopkins. The surgery continues until only cancer-free tissue remains.
In May, Biden’s office announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.
“Cancer touches us all,” Biden wrote on social media at the time. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.”
The Biden family has faced cancer repeatedly over the years. Biden’s son Beau died of a brain tumor, and his wife, Jill, had two cancerous lesions removed.
