On Sunday, the reality star shared the photo, taken in the gym, with a close up of her face that showed a small bandage on her left cheek with the caption, "Happy Sunday."
Most fans congratulated the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" alum for her healthy glow, but others questioned what the bandage was for.

Kardashian responded quickly, saying "a bandage. I had a tumor removed from my face but I’m totally ok. Thank you for asking." She also added a heart emoji to her response.

The Hulu star explained that it was biopsied and removed by her plastic surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher.
Fox News Digital spoke with Fisher at the time, and he explained Kardashian had to have "significant margins" removed.
"What she had to do is a large… cut out. I was just amazed at how mature and how courageous she was," he said.

"It takes months and months and months for things to heal, sometimes six months, sometimes a year and a half," he said. "It just has to go through this whole staircase of events, but I would say she's going to be trying to protect this as she heals for the next four to six months, something like that."
