US First Lady Jill Biden will undergo surgery next week.
The purpose of this outpatient surgery is to remove a "small skin lesion" discovered on his face during a routine examination, his spokesperson announced on Wednesday.
It will take place next Wednesday at Walter Reed Military Hospital, near Washington, said presidential physician Kevin O'Connor.
During a routine skin cancer screening, a small lesion was found above the First Lady's right eye.

“During a routine skin cancer screening, a small lesion was discovered above the first lady's eye.
As a precaution, the doctors recommended that it be removed from him,” wrote the doctor in a letter made public by the spokesperson for the “First Lady”, Vanessa Valdivia.
The tissues thus removed will then be analyzed, he specifies.
Jill Biden, 71, is the oldest first lady in US history, while her 80-year-old husband is also the oldest tenant in White House history.
Cancer is a personal cause for Joe Biden, whose son Beau died in 2015 of brain cancer, and who made reducing the death rate from the disease a "presidential priority."
