Facing her health struggles head on. Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian<\/strong><\/a> has been candid about the medical scares<\/a> she\u2019s dealt with throughout the years.<\/p>\n In October 2022, the Kardashians<\/em><\/a> star revealed that she had an \u201cincredibly rare\u201d tumor<\/a> removed from her face.<\/p>\n \u201cI have seen numerous stories going around about the ever-evolving bandage on my face, with some of you wondering why I\u2019ve been wearing one for the past few weeks. 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,\u201d the Good American cofounder shared via her Instagram Stories at the time. Doctors told Kardashian, then 38, that \u201cwhat they both were seeing was incredibly rare\u201d for someone her age.<\/p>\n \u201cA few days later I was told I need to have an immediate operation to remove a tumor from my face,\u201d she shared with fans, adding that while the surgeon was \u201cable to get everything,\u201d she needed to keep the bandage on to protect her visage.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll continue to see my bandages<\/a> and when I\u2019m allowed, you\u2019ll probably see a scar (and an indention in my cheek from the tumor being removed) but until then I hope you enjoy how fabulous I\u2019m making these face bandages look,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Kardashian has suffered from multiple health woes throughout the years, including a staph infection<\/a> in 2015. The Strong Looks Better Naked<\/em> author opened up about the scary diagnosis in November of that year amid taking care of ex-husband Lamar Odom<\/strong><\/a>, who suffered a near-fatal overdose<\/a> one month prior.<\/p>\n \u201cStaph infection is no joke. Mine was exacerbated by stress which is not a great combo,\u201d she tweeted at the time. \u201cI\u2019m under great medical care & receiving tons of love!\u201d<\/p>\n While the Kocktails With Khlo\u00e9<\/em> alum been enormously successful<\/a> in her career as an A-list reality star and fashion designer, she\u2019s also been prone to frequent migraines that have affected her daily life.<\/p>\n \u201cI wish people understood how debilitating migraines can be. I get so frustrated when people tell me to push through and it\u2019s just a bad headache. if only they knew!! That feeling is torturous and indescribable. I can\u2019t believe I left home without my migraine medication,\u201d she wrote via Twitter<\/a> in August 2021.<\/p>\n She explained that she \u201chad to push back a meeting due to my migraine\u201d \u2014 but no one seemed to understand. \u201cWhen I apologized and explained why I couldn\u2019t make it earlier, everyone sort of rolled their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
