Khloe Kardashian reveals she had a tumour removed from her face

The star has been flooded with support

Khloe Kardashian has revealed that she recently underwent a procedure to have a tumour removed from her face. The reality TV star, 38, shared a series of posts in her Instagram story on Tuesday detailing the experience, which began months ago when she noticed the bump and believed it was a pimple. “After noticing a small bump on my face and assuming it was something as minor as a zit, I decided to get it biopsied 7 months after realizing it was not budging,” Kardashian wrote next to a close-up shot of the bump.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star said she chose Beverly Hills surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher, a “dear friend” of her family to perform the surgery. “I’m grateful to share that Dr. Fisher was able to get everything — ll my margins appear clear and now we are onto the healing process,” the reality star wrote. The mother-of-two told fans she would be wearing a bandage on my face, which she intended to rock in “fabulous” style. Once the bandage was removed, she would likely have a scar and an “indention” on her cheek, she said.

Kardashian, who said she always wears sunscreen, added that this is not her first go round with skin cancer. At age 19, she said, she underwent a surgery to remove a melanoma from her back. “So I am precomposed to melanomas,” she wrote, adding that “even those that are not” should be undergoing routine skin cancer screenings. “Please take this seriously and do regular self-exams as well as our annual checkups,” she wrote.
