About a month ago, I had a wart-looking growth pop up in the middle of my upper chest. As I was a competitive swimmmer and water polo player for a total of about 20 years growing up in California before SPF or sunscreen, I have had more than my share of actinic keratoses and small basal cell skin cancers removed from various parts of me. (I joke with my primary doc that he is murdering me a little chunk at a time). This looks like a keratosis, and is really annoying.

All of the docs at the CCC are unconcerned and say that I can have it removed by my family doc. I have an appointment with plastic surgeon he referred me to, but just wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything similar after radiation?

Thanks!
