The 32-year-old reality star shared the news on her website, khloewithak.com, in the hope of prompting others to get checked out if they notice anything wrong with their skin. She also recounted that she went through the process a couple more times.

Khloé shares that as someone with many moles, she’s been extra diligent when it comes to skin cancer. I had eight inches of skin removed.
“I have moles everywhere, and a couple years ago, I noticed one growing under my breast”, she wrote on Tuesday, August 16.
We respect Koko for using her platform to raise awareness about such an important and often-forgotten health concern! The reality star is firing right back again, slamming her haters!
Don’t worry, though. Khloé assured her readers that she was fine, and that she hasn’t had any issues “in years”. “I immediately looked it up online and found that if a mole is growing and changing shape, you should go to the doctor – so I did”, Kardashian explained.
After a mole on her back turned out to be cancerous, Khloe Kardashian is urging others to do full-body skin checks and report anything suspicious to a dermatologist. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a non-benign mole is usually asymmetrical, has an uneven border, has a variety of colors, and is larger in diameter than an eraser on a pencil. “I am so grateful that most moles have not been cancerous”. Women with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are more at risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, but Khloe told her mother that she didn’t care about whether she might develop breast cancer in the future.
Khloe replied: ‘I don’t care, I don’t care’.
Kris also encouraged older daughters Kim Kardashian West and Kourtney Kardashian to undertake the tests, admitting it would be a “great feeling” if they did.

Her daughter yelled in response: ‘We’re all going to die’.
