What is this weird spot near my port scar?

I prolly should have posted this in complications, but this area gets more traffic. Has anyone seen something like this?? I've posted a picture of my port scar....and next to it is a light brown area. I have no idea what this is. It's not a bruise, it doesn't hurt in any way, and it's shown up in the last 48 hours or so....getting darker and a bit larger as time ticks away.

The only thing I can think of is that it's the Omnipaque leaking out of the port?? But it shouldn't be leaving that mark....the stuff is eliminated from your system within a few hours. It's freaking me out!! I'll email this to Dr. Spivak tomorrow to see if I can avoid a trip downtown for him to look at it. Maybe he'll recognize it right away. :cry

LOL.

Hope you figure it out terri!

I do have some miscolored spots from the surgery, but it looks like maybe where they had clamps holding my skin open that formed their own discolored scars. And they didn't show up after a fill.

The tattoo thing does sound clever, but bubble is right.. it moves!!

I haven't lost all that much, and on a daily basis, I feel it's moved.

The first fill, doctor found it real quick. 2nd time, they could feel the whole thing, but some reason couldn't get in without a fluero.. which it then went straight in.

Didn't get to the doctor today, folks. Just too much rain and the doc is super busy....1st day back from vacation and all. I'll take the pic with me next time I go in if the spot is gone. I'll go in for sure if it gets worse.
