Q: every since i had a local skin cancer stage 0 tumor removed from my anal area i have been having backpain. doctor says its from the way i had to sit off of my buttock can skin cancer go to the back
Hi Renee
When did you have your surgery? I am sure that your doctor is most likely giving you the best reason for your back pain. Skin cancer can occur anywhere but it is unlikely that it is already on your back. If you had stage zero or "in situ" skin cancer this means it has not spread. I would call your doctor with any concerns you may have. I am sure he or she has told you to come back for repeat visits to check your skin for any new skin cancers.
