    I Have Never

    Heard of cancer treatment bringing this on.
    Unless he was sensitive to the radiation.
    Could be unrelated or not.
    I would definitely bring it to his doctor's attention and ask them about it.
    Did his dermatologist have any ideas on it?
    Oh and sorry I was not thinking, Welcome to the H&N forum glad to have you.

    Thank you for the welcome. It

    Thank you for the welcome. It doesn't seem to be related to the treatment, just bad luck I guess :/. His dermatologist is just treating them as they occur
