What Do Itchy And Painful Rashes On The Neck And Chest Indicate?
My mom has stage 3 IDC breast cancer and has developed a rash on her neck and chest. It has spread quickly since her surgeon saw her on Wednesday. It is itchy and painful. She is allergic to anything metal that is not gold. Could this be from the hooks or markers from where they did the biopsies?
