skin mets?

Yes. It is possible to have skin mets. I had some about 6 years ago. They looked like little bumps on my chest. I went to my dermatologist who removed them with minor, non invasive surgery. The pathology report stated that they were in breast tissue. Women can have breast tissue where there are no breasts. I was lucky. The other women who had them, but did not choose to have them removed experienced more mets in other places like the lungs, abdomen, ovaries, other areas of the skin, throat skin and face. I had them removed before they caused mets. I don't want to scare you, but I am glad I asked my dermatologist to take care of them.
