Khloé Kardashian spoke about her skin-cancer scare when a commenter asked 'what the heck' was on her face: 'I had a tumor removed'

• Khloé Kardashian said that she's doing "totally ok" after having a tumor removed from her face.
• One commenter asked what was on her cheek in a selfie, and Kardashian replied that it was a bandage.

Khloé Kardashian said that she's doing "totally fine" several months after having a tumor removed from her cheek, posting a gym selfie with a bandage visible on her cheek.

On Sunday, Kardashian posted the photo on Instagram on Sunday, showing her posing in front of a rack of dumbbells with a small flesh-colored bandage visible on her cheek.

In the comments, some people took notice, with one writing, "and what the heck is on your cheek."

"A bandage," replied, Kardashian, who historically hasn't shied away from responding to commenters. "I had a tumor removed from my face but I'm totally ok. Thank you for asking."

Kardashian revealed that she had removed the tumor in a series of Instagram story posts in October 2022, Insider previously reported.

"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," she wrote.

After two dermatologists examined the spot, Kardashian wrote that Beverly Hills-based surgeon Dr. Garth Fischer removed the tumor. TMZ reported, citing anonymous sources close to Kardashian, that the tumor indicated precancerous melanoma, a kind of skin cancer that Kardashian has had removed before.

Kardashian previously tweeted in November 2022 that wearing the bandages was "not easy," but helped keep her scar from enlarging.

"Right now it's healing so wonderfully," she wrote in the tweet. "I do laser treatments on it and it's healing so so well. They want me to wear it for six months but I'm not sure I will go that long."
