I had trouble when I clicked on reply. Even though I was already logged on I kept getting notices asking me to log on again, so I am replying here. I hope this works.
Hi,
There are several things you can do.
1. Show them to your oncologist. Something he or she prescribed might be causing skin issues. Besides an oncologist should know what skin mets look like.
2. Show them to a good dermatologist. That person might be able to tell if they are skin mets or something else.
3. Go to www.ibcresearch.org. There are 2 links to pictures of skin mets near the bottom of the page.
4. Show them to the person who is prescribing your supplements.
5. Do a search for each of the medications (conventional and supplements) you are taking on the internet and check the side effects listed for skin issues.
6. Do a search on this website for skin mets. We have discussed this issue a number of times, so there should be a number of conversations devoted to skin mets on this site.
Good luck. Happy Holidays !! Good health to you in 2011.
