Accepted Answer

Probably trauma : This is most likely due to trauma but it does sound somewhat unusual and if it is associated with any bloody nipple discharge, i would advise you to discuss this with your physician and strongly consider a mammogram as a first step. Review any blood thinning medications to make sure you are receiving the proper dosage as well.

Question 7

i am 7, almost 8 weeks along in my pregnancy and i am noticing that i am getting random bruising on my breasts. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

PG Breast bruising: When pregnancy commences, there is increased blood flow to the genitals and breasts. The breasts will have several prominent surface capillaries that are easily subject to breaking with undue trauma(bruising) no matter how slight. Wear a good bra or breast binder, and steer clear of "swinging car doors that are closing" (smile0

Question 8

on my rib underneath my breast theres  a slight bruise and i've had it for a long time now not much pain just a little discomfort what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Hemangioma/hematoma: It depends on how long you had the "bruise" for: if few weeks or few months it may be a hematoma (blood that leaked from ruptured vessels due to trauma or bruising) and should clear shortly but if you had for years or since birth it can be a vascular anomaly or hemangioma (benign tumor of blood vessels). If it blanches (turns pale) whem you press it, it is likely a hemangioma

Question 9

i have a red patch on my breast, it's kind of looks like a love bit but it's not it looks like it's going to turn into a bruise but i haven't hit it?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: It's hard to diagnose skin problems without seeing it. Please make an appt with your family physician and let him/her give you the answer.

Question 10

i have dark spots under both breast looks like a bruise have not been hurt or been in any accident currently not allergic to anything what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Dark spots?: Women who are allergic to the metal in an underwire bra can sometimes develop chronic discoloration to the skin.  The reaction is caused by allergy to nickel.  This is a contact dermatitis (which is different than an environmental allergy).  I might suggest an over the counter topical steroid cream and using a plastic underwire bra (if you were them).
