A member asked:
After gynecomastia surgery why do i have a skin cancer?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Unrelated: Having gynecomastia surgery has nothing to do with a person's chances of getting skin cancer. They are two unrelated events.

Shouldn't be related: Skin cancers are relatively common, so there probably isn't a connection unless the cancer arose from a poorly healing scar. Risk factors for skin cancer include sun exposure and family history.

No Association: There is no association between the skin cancer and the presence of gynecomastia; coincidence only.
