Skin Lesions

I was first diagnosed from a skin lesion on my back. I am on my second month of Ibrance 125 and Letrozole.

My skin lesions have spread from my back around to the front up between my breasts on my neck and now some on my face. They were supposed to fade. So far they are spreading does anyone have any experience with these?

By lesion do you mean like an ulcerating tumor? I have 2 of those on the same breast as my original tumor. The Ibrance caused these under the skin tumors to burst through the skin but they are now shrinking and drying up. I have been on the same combo as you for 2 months.

I had a lesion all cleared up and I've been on this combo 4 years, I did have to drop to 75mg though

No, they are not open. Like bug bites, just raised bumps, reddish with no opening. Like a rash I guess.

What did the spot (lesion) look like on your back and was it itchy?

These lesions look like bug bites. They are raised, reddish, closed bumps. They had not hurt or itched until I git a bit of a radiation burn on my back. Now that spot itches. I don’t have one. There are so many on my back, like 50 “bites, coming around under my bra line and between my breasts. They are on the back of my neck and under my ears and a couple on my cheek. I am afraid they are spreading, not disappearing.😱
