Possible: Breast cancer can metastasize to the skin. It is not common but can definitely occur. Women (and men) with breast cancer need to be followed closely for several years to monitor for any kind of recurrence so that it can be dealt with asap. Skin mets can be excised usually.

Sure: It can be as simple as a lump or it can be raised and pink like a pimple. Typically occurs at the site of resection but can be in other places as well. Hope this helps.
