Khloe Kardashian has shared a health update on social media after having a tumor removed from her face.

Back in October, the 38-year-old reality TV star explained to fans that she underwent an immediate operation to get a tumor removed after noticing a stubborn "zit" on her face that didn't budge, as reported by People.

"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," she wrote at that time.

Over the weekend, the Kardashians star once again addressed her health issues after posting a selfie for fans where she is seen with a visible skin-colored bandaid on her jawline.

Upon seeing her post - which was captioned "Happy Sunday" -  one fan commented: "And what the heck is on your cheek," to which Kardashian replied: "A bandage. 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 - who has 295 million followers on the social media platform 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. All is great and healing wonderfully," she explained.

Kardashian - who also revealed she had a melanoma removed from her back at age 19 - has spoken about how "grateful" she is that the tumor was "caught early".

"I was lucky and all I have is a scar to tell a story with. Most people aren't as lucky as me and I am forever thankful and grateful," she added, as cited by People.

Her surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, also took to his Instagram to explain the surgical procedure and praised the Good American founder for allowing him to operate on her.

"Dear Khloe, @khloekardashian, you and your family have been dear to me for a very long time. I was so saddened that you required a procedure requiring removing of a dangerous and significant tumor from your face," he wrote alongside a re-post of her Instagram Stories from earlier in the day.

"I felt like I was operating on my own daughter," Fisher continued. "I was honored that you put your trust in my staff and me. I am tremendously relieved that we got it all out and you can now get past this.

"You’re beautiful and have a heart of gold. Now let’s get this scar to heal great and be mindful of too much sun exposure :)," he added.
