Does Chemotherapy Cause Skin Changes?
I am recovering from chemo. Yesterday I had a purple small mark on my skin. At night- time I had very purple coloring in my leg veins. This morning I had another purple dot on my arm. Also the skin under my arms are very sore as if they are bruised. I have been doing a lot of physical work these past couple of days. Can you tell me if it is related to my cancer, Thank-you
