Explaining the news to fans curious about the seemingly ever-present bandage that had at been on her face in recent weeks, she opened up about her diagnosis.The traumatised Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had previously assumed the tiny mark had been "something as minor as a zit".Khloe was already considered to be at risk for the condition, having previously had a melanoma removed from her back at the age of just 19.

After having two biopsies, and consultations with dermatologists, she was warned that she should have an immediate operation to get the blemish removed.

Doctors also told her that the specific situation she had was "incredibly rare for someone my age". Khloe has now decided to share her experience to raise awareness around it and urge others to get suspicious blemishes checked.Uploading images of her cheek, she announced: “All my margins appear clear and now we move on the healing process.“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."Though she has now been given the all-clear, the cancer scare was another worry for the reality show.
