Dr. Kevin O’Connor, physician to the president, said in a Wednesday evening letter that the lesion was found during a routine skin cancer screening. O’Connor said that the lesion will be removed on Jan. 11, and the tissue will be examined. The Associated Press has the story:

Jill Biden will undergo a medical procedure next week to remove a small lesion from above her right eye that was discovered during a routine skin cancer screening, the White House announced Wednesday.
The first lady will undergo the outpatient procedure next Wednesday, Jan. 11, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, said Dr. Kevin O’Connor, physician to President Joe Biden, in a memo released by the White House.
Doctors recommended that the lesion be removed from Jill Biden, 71, during what was described as a “common outpatient procedure,” and that it be examined “in an abundance of caution,” O’Connor wrote.
An update will be provided afterward, O’Connor said.
