I had radiation on a skin cancer on my neck. The radiation left me with a wound which healed over and did not ooze for several months. The wound has now reopened and is oozing, I have to keep it covered or it runs down my neck. Is it possible the cancer has returned?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Radiotherapy therapy can cause tissue destruction and healing by fibrosis. And tissue becomes dead. So blood supply is also hampered. Since you are having oozing from the same area, possibility of1. Recurrence of cancer.2. Bacterial skin infection. So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these. Biopsy is must diagnose these.
