Hi Betful
I'm sorry to read that you're currently waiting for a biopsy of a spot on your face and leg. I know how horrible waiting is.
I think the simple answer to your question is that it could be either a new primary or a spread but your SCNS would be best placed to advise you based on your medical history.
I'll be keeping everything crossed that these new lesions turn out to be benign.
((hugs))
