HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Dermatology Image Atlas; if you're looking for pictures.....

I have 3 bright red "blotches" in one armpit. I searched this site looking for a description of what skin mets look like. Some people used good descriptors, but without a picture, it is much harder to know what skin mets really look like.

Complicating the issue is the fact that these metastisis have an asssortment of visual clues. Some have nodules, some are more "rashy."

I thought this was a good site that shows a large assortment of skin disorders. Breast cancer is also listed.
