Breast Cancer spread to the skin!

I have MBC with Mets to my skin on my chest from a failed mastectomy. Has anyone successfully treated these ?
Many disappeared while on Enhertu but after Enhertu stopped working I still have about 7 that are in some stage of breaking down.
Thank you in advance !

Welcome, @juliabode. I moved your question about treatment for skin metastasis of breast cancer to this existing discussion:
- Breast Cancer spread to the skin! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/breast-cancer-spread-to-the-skin/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with other members like @ginny100 @pavo5 @danielad @keepmoving2 @leolion811 @yaagsmith who have experience with skin mets.

Julia, when you say that you have about 7 skin lesions that are in some stage in breaking down and ulcerating. This must be so painful and uncomfortable. Are you working with a wound nurse? What treatment is being offered?
