“This, on her face, is very concerning,“Kris Jennersays in the clip after Khloé learns that she has melanoma on her cheek.
“I don’t think I’ve seen you this low,” Khloé’s BFFMalika Haqqtold her beforeKendall Jenneradded that her sister “doesn’t sleep” and has “lost a lot of weight.”
The trailer then flashes a look at Khloe’s stitches after surgery and the reality star at home with a bandaged face.

Khloé — who firstopened up about her skin cancer scarein October 2022 — updated fans about her health on social media in February.
“And what the heck is on your cheek,” a fan asked her about a skin-colored bandaid visible on her jawline in the post.
“a bandage 🩹,” Khloé replied. “I had a tumor removed from my face but I’m totally ok. Thank you for asking ❤️.”
When another follower also asked about the bandage, the mother-of-two added that the bandaid was actually “a scar strip.”
“I had a tumor removed from my face a few months ago so I wear this for healing and the prevention of my scar getting worse,” she added. “All is great and healing wonderfully.”

Last year, theKardashiansstar shared the news of her tumor in a series of posts on her Instagram Story featuring close-up photos of her skin.
“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 explained.
She added that she received two biopsies from separate doctors who both thought the bump was “incredibly rare” for someone of her age.
“I’m grateful to share that Dr. Fischer was able to get everything — all my margins appear clear and now we are onto the healing process,” Khloé said at the time. “So, here we are… 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.”
Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells that typically develop on skin exposed to sunlight, namely the sun’s UV rays, according toThe Mayo Clinic. Per theSkin Cancer Foundation, melanoma is one of the three major types of skin cancer.
