Hi SaraD,
Please explain "skin mets"/"dermal mets." Is there another name to look under? Are your bumps constant, all over your body, any itching? Is there a treatment for this?

Recently I've had itching and little bumps appear daily (then go away) for last week. I've gone through obvious--skin conditions, change of soaps, change of diet, too much heating during winter. Then I read itching can be a symptom of liver problems. Haven't seen a doctor yet as I hoped it would run its course. I finished Herceptin in January after 1 year so can't blame that. Thanks for info.
