Originally marketed as a treatment for hypertension, minoxidil, in liquid form, was found by 48% of the men in an Upjohn study to produce "moderate-to- dense" hair growth if applied twice daily.

The diagnosis, now as then: basal-cell carcinoma, the most common and least dangerous form of cancer. The second lesion on the President's nose was removed by a Washington dermatologist, whom the Administration refuses to identify, in a short operation performed in the White House doctor's office under local anesthetic.
