I have a red spot on right breast- flat, no lump, fairly small. not warm or painful, but concerned. what could this be? blood vessel? (pic in profile)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Angioma: Appears to be a benign and common lesion, called angioma. You are correct it is a collection of blood vessels which may be treated cosmetically by a laser. They do not turn into skin cancer.
