What Causes Identical Rashes On The Breast After Skin Cancer Treatment In The Head?

I recently had skin cancer removed on head. When I took the antibiotics for this, I got elliptical red marks about 1 1/2 inch long and 1 inch wide, pointed at the ends like a marquis diamond for a ring, at the top of each breast. They are almost identical, with regular skin inside and the red outlines are about 1/4 wide, a little narrower in some areas. What could cause this? Why would they appear on both breasts? Why would they almost be the identical same size? I ve had lots of rashes and skin problems, but this is weird.

hi.

i suggest you follow-up with your doctor and have him/her physically examine those new lesions. a biopsy of those lesions could also be done if indications are found. it doesn't necessarily mean that those are cancerous lesions as well, but it also doesn't rule that out. so a physical and a biopsy examination will be of great help in further investigating your lesion.

hope this helps.

good day!!
