Khloé Kardashian unveils melanoma removal scars, raises skin cancer awareness

Reality TV personality Khloé Kardashian shared details of her recent health scare in season 3 trailer of the Hulu reality show The Kardashians released on Thursday.

The 38-year-old revealed that doctors urged her to undergo an immediate operation after she finally got a lingering bump on her cheek checked out.

Newly released scenes from the upcoming season trailer depict her struggle to cope with the aftermath of her surgery.

 The scenes show the Good American founder wearing a large bandage on the side of her cheek, with her friends expressing concern over her well-being.

Khloé's friend Malika Haqq admitted that she had not seen her friend so low before, while Kendall Jenner added that she had lost a lot of weight and wasn't sleeping well.

The star, known for her level-headedness, was visibly taken aback by the situation. 

Reflecting on her health scare, Khloé emphasized the seriousness of melanoma, acknowledging that the condition was far more severe than she had anticipated.

She opened up about her tumor for the first time in October 2022 after fans noticed her sporting a skin-colored bandage on her face.

Initially, she dismissed the blemish on her face as a simple zit. 

However, after seven months of it not going away, she decided to get it biopsied.

 Dermatologists Dr. Tess Mauricio and Dr. Daniel Behroozan  found it to be an uncommon occurrence for someone of her age.

She then shared a video on social media featuring the bandage as the song Too Sexy played in the background.

In the caption, she wrote, "I hope you enjoy how fabulous I'm making these face bandages look."

Back in 2016, Khloé opened up about her neoplasm on her app/website, where she shared that she had a mole on her back that turned out to be cutaneous cancer.

In order to treat it, she had to undergo the removal of eight inches of skin, which was a painful experience for her. 

Khloé  went on to explain, "They took the whole thing out and biopsied it. Thankfully, it came back benign. 

"I've been through this process a few times now, and I'm so grateful that most of the moles I've had removed have not been cancerous."
