Has anyone experienced a skin metastasis? My dads back in the hospital after being home for 2 weeks due to an infection. I brought him in as soon as he developed a fever. The ER dr didnt culture anything but admitted him due to high white blood count. Hes being treated with 3 antibiotics. I thought he would be home by mow, but they biopsied two areas on his neck of concern. He has these little pimples that are flesh colored. I really believe some of them have gone away, but the residents here saying it could be a skin Metastasis...the dr hinted that this would be quite bad if confirmed to be so. I just dont understand... how does this happen? Whats the treatment and prognosis? I can't even find anything online to see what it would look like. Any help would be beneficial . Weve been through the ringer...
