JACKSON, Miss. --
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he had a noncancerous bump removed from his face as a precaution.Barbour, 60, was wearing a small bandage on his right cheek Wednesday as he spoke hundreds of people at a Mississippi Economic Council meeting in downtown Jackson.
In a brief interview after the speech, the Republican governor said his dermatologist removed the spot Wednesday morning. Barbour said he had melanoma 30 years ago, so his doctor doesn't like to take any chances.
He said the latest procedure was "not a big deal."
