Anderson Cooper Treated for Skin Cancer

U.S. television journalist Anderson Cooper reveals on his Web site that he had a small spot of skin cancer removed from his face this week.

I’ve been off for the last couple of days, the CNN news presenter wrote on his blog Wednesday morning.

I had minor surgery on Monday. A small spot of skin cancer was removed from under my left eye. I hadn’t planned on mentioning this but I still have stitches and you’ll no doubt notice them tonight, he explained. Don’t want you to think I got into a fist fight with Charlie Rose.
