NEW YORK, March 19 (UPI) -- 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."
