I have developed an alarming collection of red patches on my leg which have grown considerable over 2 days. GP has prescribed steroid cream for 2 weeks but has raised the possibility that it could be secondary BC in the skin. There isn’t much information or pictures available online. Does anyone else have any experience of this please ?

Thank you 

  • By coincidence my GP has referred me to hospital dermatology clinic under the 2ww and my appointment is on Friday.  I found a brown suspicious mark on my heel while I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago and my GP referred me straight away due to my history.  I had breast cancer with vascular invasion 8 years ago.  Ive been looking for information/pictures too but not much comes up.  

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
