A member asked:

I am a 65 yo female and woke up this morning with bruising on my right breast. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
