What Does Discoloration And Growth At Skin Graft Site Indicate?
I have a 7 year old skin graft on my front thigh. About a month ago a small area ( size of a pea) appeared at the perimeter. In a few weeks it has grown to the size of a coat button? It looks dry and red and doesn t hurt. I have had skin cancer removed from my shoulder twice now could it be that it looks similar? However my doner site was from my buttock !

Hello and welcome.
Well an elaborate evaluation will be required, but the appearance of the lump around a skin graft is common and only requires excision. Speak to your surgeon and get it excised, send the tissue sample to the laboratory for analysis and confirmation of the cause.
