Probably not cancer: Skin cancer is rare in someone 23 years old. I wouldn't worry about it. The symptoms of skin cancer are change in or development of a mole or skin nodule that is raised or flat, asymmetric, discolored, and that grows in size. Your symptoms should go away on their own within a few days.

Probably OK, but...: If this fades quickly, it's likely a bruise or broken blood vessel. But there is rare type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer that can start with bruising like this. If you have pain, pressure, a heavy feeling in your breast, or if the discoloration doesn't fade in a day or two, see a doctor immediately. It would be very rare to get breast cancer at age 23, but it happens.

Identify cause first: Post traumatic bruising is the most likely cause but best to see your pcp or breast surgeon so that a full history and examination can be undertaken.
