Khloe Kardashian Has Cancer? 'KUWTK' Alum Faces Health Scare Due to Face Tumor
Does Khloe Kardashian have cancer?
Fans of Kardashian recently got worried about her because of the bandages on her face. She revealed on Tuesday that it was because she had a tumor removed from her face, but she disclosed more worrying details about that.
On her Instagram Story, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" alum noted how fans had been asking her about the bandages, revealing that she underwent surgery to remove a small bump on her face after noticing it was not budging in the past seven months.
At first, she thought it was just a minor zit but eventually decided to have a biopsy of it,
Kardashian disclosed she had two biopsies with separate doctors who both told her it was rare to have that bump for someone her age. Thus, she immediately called Dr. Garth Fisher and received the procedure.
"So, here we are... you'll continue to see my bandages, and when I'm allowed, you'll probably see a scar (and an indentation in my cheek from the tumor being removed), but until then I hope you enjoy how fabulous I'm making these face bandages look," she said.
She revealed to her followers that she shared her story to remind everyone to undergo checkups as frequently as possible to prevent serious illnesses from occurring.
Khloe Kardashian Already Had a Cancer Scare in The Past
Aside from the recent bump on her face, her doctors also found a cancerous mole on her back years ago.
As quoted by PEOPLE, Kardashian disclosed she was diagnosed with melanoma on her back when she was 19. With that, she is more prone to developing the dreaded disease.
The Skin Cancer Foundation listed the warning signs of melanoma to spread awareness. The website reveals that melanomas commonly develop on the legs and trunks of women and men, respectively. Still, it is possible that these may develop anywhere on the skin, even in the parts that are not exposed to the sun.
It shares the ABCDEs of melanoma, which stands for Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter/Dark, and Evolving.
With Kardashian's story, the Good American founder told her fans how lucky she is that she has a scar that tells her story.
She then shared videos and photos showing her wearing a bandage in public. The TV personality extended her gratitude to her makeup artist and dermatologists who are helping her after the health scare.
