  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I can appreciate that you have a lot going on with your breast surgery imminent. It is possible to get a second separate skin cancer. But, I wouldn't make any firm assumptions about what it might be. It may well have a straightforward less serious explanation. Do make contact with your GP when you can. They may ask for a photo of the skin lesion to be sent to them, for them to evaluate first. If they think it needs to be reviewed more thoroughly, then they would refer you to see a dermatologist at your local hospital. They can assess it, and advise further.

    I hope that your breast surgery goes smoothly, 

    With best wishes,
