This was not her first experience with skin cancer. In 2022, Khloe revealed she had discovered a bump on her face that hadn't gone away for seven months. After getting it biopsied, doctors removed a tumour.
Having previously had melanoma on her back at the age of 19, Khloe monitored the situation closely.
She documented the removal process in the third season of The Kardashians, noting that her doctors had to remove a larger portion of tissue than initially expected.
Khloe later urged her followers to be vigilant with their health. "I never imagined that this tiny speck would turn into skin cancer," she wrote on Instagram in 2023. "I can't fathom what could have happened had I not gone to the doctor to get it looked at."
She encouraged fans to be consistent with skin cancer check-ups, stressing the importance of early detection.
