Harvard Mohs surgeon and dermatologist, Dr Abby Waldman, explains the first lady Jill Biden's skin cancer diagnosis with basal cell carcinoma and treatment with Mohs surgery. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that is readily cured with surgery. People who are fair skinned, blue eyed, and have a history of significant sun exposure or family history are at increased risk. Protecting your skin from sun burn starting at a young age is important to prevent these skin cancers.
