Former President Joe Biden was seen over Labor Day weekend in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with a noticeable scar across his forehead, drawing attention to his ongoing health battles. The mark stems from a recent Mohs surgery, a specialized procedure that removes skin cancer layer by layer until no cancerous cells remain.
Biden had previously been spotted with a bandage on his forehead in late August, indicating that the surgery took place around that time. This is not his first encounter with skin cancer—he underwent a similar procedure in 2023 to remove a basal cell carcinoma from his chest.
The development comes as Biden continues treatment for advanced prostate cancer, diagnosed earlier this year after the illness spread to his bones. Despite the seriousness of the condition, doctors have described his treatment as effective in managing the disease.
Cancer has been a recurring challenge for the Biden family. His late son, Beau, died from a brain tumor, and First Lady Jill Biden has also faced cancer diagnoses, undergoing successful removal of lesions. Biden has often spoken publicly about these struggles, framing them as a source of resilience and determination for his family.
