NEW YORK — Mayor Edward I. Koch had five non-cancerous lesions removed from his face Friday morning.
Koch said three were caused by sun exposure and the other two were from an inherited condition. He said a dermatologist gave him a local anesthetic and removed the lesions in about 20 minutes.
Koch said no further medical treatment is required and that he has been placed under no restrictions but was warned to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
