Discolor from radiation on breast cancer, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes time: The discoloration is normal after radiation for breast cancer. The radiation is similar to getting a suntan over time. It can take months for the discoloration to resolve. Check with your radiation doctors, they oftern have recommendations for protecting the skin. Congrats on being a survivor!
