I completed radiation in 2014, so its been awhile. I have recently noticed several small blister like bumps on my chest. I have tried to squeeze to see if fluid comes out, but nothing. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have googled and can't find anything that really matches what this looks like.

Help!

    tangandchris, yes it may be wise to see a skin specialist. I was told that having radiation puts us at much higher risk of skin cancer, hence why we have to cover up in the sun always after having this treatment. It may be totally unrelated of course, so better to get it checked.

    yes I get them. I call them my heat bumps. I get them sometimes when I get very sweaty or been in the sun. Or sometimes for no reason that I can ascertain. I've been to dermatologist about them, she thinks it's from past radiation. They come and go. I also used to get red dots (totally different from the bumps/blisters) as well. Dermatologist is a good idea.
