My husband has advanced Metastatic prostrate cancer and has recently had a bone strengthening infusion of Aclasta. He all of a sudden has a very sore arm from his little finger right through to his shoulder and now has little blisters or swollen rash on his finger, inner and upper hand on the side and lower arm and very painful, could this be shingles, he is 80 years old. And is also being treated with Zolodex hormone implant every 3 months. Hopefully I will get an answer Bach soon
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. He is having skin lesions. And this kind of lesions can be due to spread of cancer in skin, allergic reaction due to Alaska injection and hormonal imbalance. So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of these lesions. He may need skin biopsy for the diagnosis of these lesions. Hormone levels are also needed to rule out hormonal imbalance. So consult dermatologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
