New photos show the massive scar on former President Joe Biden’s head following a skin cancer operation.
Biden, 82, was spotted Saturday exiting St. Joseph’s Church for Saturday Mass in Delaware.
He was seen sporting the brutal gash on his noggin without the bandage he had covering it last week.
The next day, former first lady Jill Biden headed to a spin class a few miles away in southeastern Pennsylvania.
She was spotted wearing a souvenir t-shirt from the US Virgin Islands that proclaimed “Seas the Day” — along with star-spangled lycra leggings — as the 74-year-old left a fitness studio called Cycology.
The new photos of Joe Biden show that his wound appears to be healing.
The 46th president’s team was forced to reveal he had Mohs surgery to deal with skin cancer last week following the publication of pictures with the nasty gash.
The procedure removes layers of skin until all the cancerous cells are eliminated, per the Mayo Clinic.
It is not clear when Biden received the surgery, though he had been spotted with the injury last month as well while attending the funeral of former Delaware Gov. and Rep. Mike Castle.
The former president previously underwent surgery to remove skin cancer during his time in the White House.
Following a physical he received in February 2023, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest.
That lesion later turned out to be basal cell carcinoma.
Former first lady Jill Biden was also spotted on Sunday, exiting a spin class on a rainy day in Pennsylvania.
Back in May, the 46th president publicly announced that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” type of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.
Biden is receiving treatment.
His team claims that the prostate cancer “appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.”
Outside experts believe that while his prostate cancer may be manageable, it is very unlikely to ever be fully cured.
That cancer appears to have gone undetected during his time in the White House.
Publicly available information about his physicals indicates that he was not tested for prostate cancer during his presidency due to his age.
The former president’s longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, had declared he was “fit to serve” in February 2024 following his routine examination that month.
Later that year, Biden faced a firestorm over his cognitive abilities following his disastrous debate performance against President Trump in June 2024.
The GOP-led House Oversight Committee is investigating whether there was a cover-up of Biden’s mental condition as well as his use of autopen.
The powerful investigatory panel has summoned close to a dozen former Biden administration officials for that investigation.
