The new issue of The National ENQUIRER, on newsstands now, features medical experts consulting on the "Working Girl" star's future surgeries — after The ENQUIRER's bombshell scoop on the new outbreak. The dime-sized hole that used to be above her right nostril was startlingly similar to an alarming cancer spot she had in 2015.

A source close to Melanie confirmed to The ENQUIRER that the famously vain actress was battling cancer — as doctors studied the earlier pics and warned that this new outbreak could even spread through her body! “The most dangerous skin cancers are around or on the nose because they can spread deep underneath the skin and the doctor will not see the spread because it may not be on the skin surface,” said Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who hasn't treated the actress.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Lyle Back added that the cancer is due to too much sun for the beauty-obsessed blonde. “She has a classic outdoor sun-damaged face,” said Dr. Back, who hasn't treated the star. He also noted she’s had a number of nose jobs.

But, Dr. Back noted at the time, “techniques that plastic surgeons have available to them can minimize the scarring” when she had the cancer removed. Melanie wasn't out to hide her new look, either!
