Teddi Mellencamp reveals graphic picture of her surgery scar in honor of World Cancer Day The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was first diagnosed with melanoma in October 2022.
Despite my anxiety, I listened to the doctors and went in for my 3-month skin check last week since my previous melanoma,” she wrote in an October 2022 Instagram post.
On Instagram, she shared an image of the original surgical marking (the same seen in her February 2025 post) and wrote: “I specifically went through a ‘wide excision melanoma, soft tissue defect reconstruction with adjacent tissue rearrangement.’.
At the time, Mellencamp candidly confessed she’d avoided getting her skin checked by the dermatologist “for a very long time” due to her “anxiety.” However, her friend and co-star, Kyle Richards, ultimately convinced her to consult with a doctor when she noticed the concerning mole.
Later in October 2022, the Two Ts In A Pod host said two more moles had been removed from her back and that her doctors suggested she undergo a PET scan and schedule appointments with a hematologist and a surgical oncologist.
