What Makes A Scar To Change Its Color While On Breast Cancer Treatment?
Hello, No, that is not cancer. But an inflammation of scar tissue most likely due to chemotherapy. Good idea to check out with a plastic surgeon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
