A member asked:

Iound a black & blue mark, deep purple in color on my left breast above it is a lump about size of a quarter , could my blood thinner have caused it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The presence of a lump in the breast associated with a black and blue mark is the sign of a hematoma secondary to an anticoagulant. The black and blue mark should slowly turn orange in color and t hen fade. Talk with your physician about holding off on the anticoagulant and then reducing the dosage so this doesn't repeat internally.
