Need to know if this is common for healing or is it reoccurring?

Frankly it sounds like an infection, not a recurrence, despite the fact that she's taking antibiotics. The chemotherapy likely compromised her immune system meaning that healing can take a long time. Still, I don't know what kind of T-cell lymphoma she had- this could indicate a recurrence of some sort if she was treated for cutaneous t-cell lymphoma if the area looks like the kind of rashes she developed prior to chemo and treatment.

Either way, she needs to see her doctor and have it examined.

Thank you for your reply. She had t cell aggressive lymphoma of the lymph nodes IV stage aggressive and not the skin cutaneous one.She has her doc appt coming weak. The only thing that worries me at this moment is the fever.
