Hi
I’ve recently noticed dark patches, a bit like birthmarks in my armpits. Wondering if they are hormone related. I’ve been taking Anastrazole for 3 years. Is there anyone else on here who has experienced this? It might not be due to anastrazole. I’ve also read it could be down to insulin resistance.
thanks
Hi Polarbear welcome to the forum . I know I had a lovely tanned looking breast area after radiotherapy but it disappeared in time. I'm not dure what could be causing that but it's worth either a call to the breast clinic where u were seen to speak to them or a visit to the GP to maybe have some bloods done and these areas checked out. Xx
