“As a result of the surgery, and the tumor my incredible doctor removed, I ended up with an indentation in the side of my face,” Kardashian explained in her post.

Khloé first began sharing her health journey two years ago when fans noticed a bandage on her face. She explained on Instagram that she initially thought a small bump on her cheek was a zit but decided to get it biopsied after seven months of no improvement. The biopsy revealed it was melanoma, a form of skin cancer.

In her Instagram post, Khloé expressed how shocked she was to learn that the tiny spot was skin cancer and emphasized the importance of getting any unusual marks checked by a doctor.

Kardashian has since been open about her health and treatments, encouraging her followers to be consistent with checkups. She has also revealed in The Kardashians that she had her first melanoma removed from her back when she was 19.
