Alice,
I have noticed a pink spot just about 2 inches below my affected breast. I have been putting Neosporin on it to see if it will go away. Yesterday it looked a bit faded but has started itching and seems to be adding bumps. I see my onc on Feb 10 and plan on showing it to him if it is still there. I have a history of melanoma (actually all three skin cancers) so I imagine I will have it biopsied if it doesn't disappear by the 10th. You may want to consult with a dermatologist.
