Roxy Jacenko has revealed her new health scare almost 10 years after battling breast cancer.
The PR queen, 45, shared a video to Instagram on Tuesday, explaining she recently had two bumps removed from her face.
‘There is like this bump here which I went to the dermatologist and she said she will need to cut it out,’ she began her video pointing to the scar on the side of her nose.
‘Anyway I left four stitches later and with quite a red scar.’
She told Daily Mail Australia one looked suspicious and was cut out before being sent for a biopsy but was fortunately found as non-cancerous.
Roxy then explained in her video how she has been using an LED mask and it has been helping to reduce the appearance of the scar.

‘It encourages the collagen to help repair [your skin]. If you’re looking for something to help scars quicker or reduce fine lines, it’s definitely one to try,’ Roxy continued.
Roxy’s health scare comes nine years after she battled breast cancer back in 2016.
The PR queen, who was diagnosed at just 36, endured a six-week radiation program before she underwent partial removal surgery.
She told The Daily Telegraph at the time she had been forced to take the preventative cancer pills after her chances of relapsing were found to be high.
‘I did a test in the US which gives you a percentage [chance] of the cancer coming back and it was a bit higher than the oncologist would have liked,’ Roxy said, adding she will be taking the pills for the next decade.
‘I have a 10 to 15 per cent chance of it coming back.’
Roxy recently claimed overdosing on Ozempic was worse than her cancer battle.
The former Sweaty Betty owner used the drug in an effort to lose weight, but she had purchased it on the black market, having two pens worth delivered from Nowra, NSW to Sydney in an Uber that cost her $2500.

But she took one milligram of the diabetic treatment on her first hit, which was four times the amount prescribed to her by a doctor.
‘The aftermath of it was I think I’m going to die,’ she revealed to 7NEWS Spotlight last year.
‘In the morning, I was driving to work. I was sweating. I was so hot and then I just kept vomiting nonstop.
‘That night, I ended up in hospital. They had never seen this before. This was the first they had seen of an Ozempic overdose,’ Roxy explained.
‘Like the shaking, my whole body was shaking, I couldn’t control my legs. It’s like I had no control of my body.’
Roxy says she spent three days recovering from epilepsy style seizures.
She added: ‘Literally, I truly thought this is it. I’ve been sick in my time. Cancer was a walk in the park compared to how bad I felt for those three days.’
Roxy had obtained the drug illegally in a desperate bid to lose 15 kilos, paying $700 for two doses.
‘I was actually like a junkie. I look at it now and I was like a junkie,’ she said.

She said she was ‘desperate’ to lose the 15kg she gained while treating her breast cancer with the hormone therapy Tamoxifen.
‘I thought I was actually going to die. I have had cancer, radiation therapy, all of that. It doesn’t even compare to how bad I felt when I took this drug,’ Roxy told The Saturday Telegraph.
Ozempic has been a hot topic in Hollywood with stars either admitting to using the diabetes drug for weight loss or staunchly denying it.
Semaglutide is sold under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus as an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
It is also sold under the brand name Wegovy as an anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management.
The drugs act like a hormone in the brain which causes people to feel less hungry and slow the clearing of food from the stomach, which spurs weight loss.
Ozempic and Wegovy have surged in popularity since becoming the first drugs proven to aid weight loss.
Celebrities including Elon Musk, Remi Bader, Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer revealed they used the drug to help trim fat.
