68. Survival rates from both the conditions I mentioned are good as long as they're caught early,

much as that may be a disappointment to many of us.

Basal cell carcinoma does have more chances of metastasizing and at best causing local tissue destruction if left to fester for too long.

The patch we can see in the photos seems quite large, so who knows what the stage and prognosis is?

A decent president might have gone public about this and used it as a public education campaign - wear high-factor sunscreen, cover up and get any suspicious persistent rashes and lesions checked out, etc. But Trump's a superman ...
