This admission shows Khloé‘s openness and honesty regarding her health. She emphasized her gratitude for the medical professionals who played a vital role in her skin cancer journey.

In 2016, she revealed she had another mole —this time on her chest— biopsied. “Thankfully, it was benign,” Kardashian said at the time. “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.”
