Khloe Kardashian reveals skin cancer diagnosis: What you need to know about melanoma

The reality star had a tumour removed from her face following a biopsy

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can spread to other areas of the body.

Khloe Kardashian has described how a “tiny little dot” on her face that she thought was acne was actually melanoma skin cancer.

“I have done one biopsy on this bump that I just assumed was a zit, turns out it’s not a zit,” she said during a recent episode of The Kardashians. “It’s melanoma and for my age, it’s incredibly rare.”
