Hi there, I don't think you need to worry about skin mets, it sounds very much like the rash my 34 year old son has only just gotten rid of, his doctor said it was an unexplainable rash and treated it with strong anti-histamines, and told him it should only last a few weeks and he was right. I suspect it was from stress but he says no, but a mother knows better. I believe it is a form of hives. I have had a fair amount of skin mets, and my experience has been that it first appeared just above the scar line and was treated successfully with Xeloda, the second time it appeared on the same side but on my neck and behind my ear where I had lymph gland involvement and it was treated this time with Navelbine, and now again on the remaining breast, it is confirmed with biopsy. I am still in treatment with nothing exciting to report in the way of results this time. Hives can be triggered by all sorts of things including the sun, but if in doubt have it checked out by a skin doc.

Love & Hugs Lyn
