Khloe Kardashian has revealed that she had a skin cancer scare.
The 32-year-old, who’s father Robert passed away from oesophageal cancer in 2003, admitted that she had to get a cancerous mole removed from her back – and was forced to have EIGHT inches of skin removed.
Writing on her app, Khloe revealed, “There was one mole I had on my back that was skin cancer. I had eight inches of skin removed. It was definitely painful because it was a lot of skin, but most of the time, the removals haven’t been that bad.

“A couple years ago, I noticed one growing under my breast. I immediately looked it up online and found out that if a mole is growing and changing shape, you should go to the doctor – so I did.
“They took the whole thing out and they biopsied it. Thankfully, it was benign. I’ve gone through this process a couple of times and I am so grateful that most moles have not been cancerous.
“Now that I’ve gone through this a couple of times, I am extra aware of my skin, body and moles,” she explained.

“I haven’t had a problem in years, but wanted to share my experience with you so that if you notice something doesn’t look right, you will take action and take care of your health!” she added.
