I'm a teenager, and i've discovered multiple purple marks on both my breasts, and i was wondering if this was normal during puberty or something other?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Teenager: Have you been pinching your breasts. That would cause the discoloration. If you are breaking out all over see your doctor immediately.
