Skip to main content September 4, 2025 Former President Joe Biden at the White House on Oct. 4, 2024 in Washington, DC Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Former President Joe Biden underwent surgery to remove skin cancer lesions, a spokesperson for Biden said Thursday. The health update from Biden’s office arrived after the television show Inside Edition aired footage of the former president greeting supporters outside a church in Delaware with what appeared to be a large scar above his right eye. His spokesperson Kelly Scully confirmed it was a Mohs surgery, a type of procedure used to treat skin cancers, per the Associated Press. Scully did not specify when Biden had the surgery done. In May, the former president was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his personal office said in a statement at the time. “The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” Trending Stories Druski Went Viral for Turning Into a White NASCAR Fan.
