    I noticed after chemo I started to get little light brown spots on my skin. My hand has one, leg,and neck. They are not moles but just discolored spots. Did anyone else get this? I am going to make a appointment with dermatologist to have them checked out.

    Rosie12- I started getting the same little patches. One appeared yesterday on my bald head! Going to ask MO on thursday what he thinks. They are on fingers also. Started 3 days after my first Taxol treatment. Let us know what you find out.

    I hope its not melonoma. My mom had it 2 times(on shoulder and arm) caught early. My GYN Dr. said it is very heritiatary. She told me her mom had it and she watches for it. Let me know what Dr. says to you too. Thank you.

    So what was it? Has it gone away? I'm having the same problem so was searching for others who may have experienced it, came across this thread
