Bill Clinton has reignited concerns about his health after a public appearance at the TCS New York City Marathon over the weekend.
On Sunday, November 2, the former president was spotted with a bandage on his face as he cheered on his daughter, Chelsea Clinton, alongside his wife, Hillary Clinton.
The large skin-colored Band-Aid covered the tip of Bill's nose, prompting fans to wonder what mysterious wound the dressing was covering.
The former Democratic president sparked health concerns with his latest public outing.
In photos obtained by a news publication, the former Democratic leader, 79, could be seen hugging his 45-year-old daughter after she crossed the finish line upon completion of her 26.2-mile race.
While it's unclear what caused Bill to need a bandage on his face, social media users were quick to speculate potential reasons why.
Bill Clinton Sparks Skin Cancer Concerns With Large Bandage
Bill Clinton cheered on his daughter, Chelsea, at the NYC Marathon.
"If I had to guess I'd say he had Mohs surgery to remove a skin cancer lesion on his nose," one person guessed, as another similarly suggested, "Mohs surgery most likely. For skin cancer."
"Who knows? But it is rather common to have skin cancer removed as you age," a third individual noted.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Mohs surgery "is a procedure used to treat skin cancer" that "involves cutting away thin layers of skin."
"Each thin layer is looked at closely for signs of cancer. The process keeps going until there are no signs of cancer," the website explained, though there are no reports at time of press regarding whether Bill may have cancer.
