could this be skin mets?

Hello friends! I have a flat pink area on my side near my waist...it's been there for a couple months. I had it looked at during my annual skin check at the derm...they were not concerned. Showed it to my chemo nurse and then my onco's assistant...I told her I was afraid it could be skin mets...she says it's not. Could it be from Herceptin? It doesn't itch or hurt and there are no bumps or anything....no rash or bumps on my breast chest ot anywhere else. Of course I think the worst as I'm sure I always will.
