Hi,
I have a quarter sized red mark on my on cancerous breast, my breast surgeon tried a fungal cream which didn't help. He suggested visiting my dermatologist who did a punch biopsy and said it could be breast cancer. I need to wait a couple of days for the results.

Does anyone here know anything about skin mets? I haven't been feeling well for a couple of weeks, but my symptoms are vague. Nothing much to complain or see a MD about. While dressing last week I noticed this mark and sent pictures to my breast surgeon and he wanted to see me right away, so maybe he was worried about something.

Augh I hate this disease. I'm almost 9 years post bilateral mastectomy, could this be mets?
