Hi
Since you had stage 4 breast cancer the dark meatus and spot could be due to the side effect of chemotherapy drug 5 FU.
5 FU contains Fluorouracil which can cause hyperpigmentation of the meatus.
I would advise you to apply Hirudoid Cream locally over the area twice daily for 2 weeks.
It works by improving the circulation after bruising or soft tissue injuries.
