Suggest Remedy For Itchy Bumps
Please help!5 yrs ago I had dermato fybro sarcoma on the stomach tissue. Had surgery to remove it and after all this time all of the sudden I am getting this big itchy red bumps along the scar line. . Have treated them with many creams and they keep coming back. Do I have to worry being cancer again??

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Track malignancy is very common after operation for the cancer.
So we need to rule out this first.
So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of bumps.
If necessary you may need biopsy of the lump to rule out cancer.
Since it is coming and going with itching, less likely to be malignant . May be due to allergy or infection.
Better to consult dermatologist and discuss all these.
