What Does Skin Discoloration On The Shoulder And Shin Indicate?

I recently had a discoloration on both by shoulder and shin. The skin sort of blisters and then peels off like sunburn. It is almost like I have been burnt but I haven t. the skin on my wrist also has been peeling. I am a cancer survivor and take chemo drugs every day along with BB drugs, a cholesterol drug and a few others. My cancer metastasized twice but I have been cancer for 2 years with a PSA 0.1. My concern is cancer.

in my opinion this is due the side effects of chemotherapy. mucositis and this kind of skin peeling is side effects of anticancer drugs .. I would recommend you to gently massage your skin with coconut oil. ant I would suggest you to take antioxidants, multivitamin and folic acid. citrus fruits will also help as they have lots of vit C which help in healing.
