First Lady Jill Biden To Have Lesion Removed Above Eye
First lady Jill Biden will have a small lesion removed from above her eye after doctors discovered it during a routine skin cancer screening, the White House said Wednesday.
“In an abundance of caution, doctors have recommended that it be removed,” White House physician Kevin O’Connor said in a statement. “The First Lady will undergo a common outpatient procedure known as Mohs surgery to remove and definitively examine the tissue.”
