Mastitis: Soreness and blue veins on breast indicate internal swelling, which can be due to inflammation and or infection. You should be examined to rule out infection soon (1-2 days. In the meantime pl. take ibuprofen 400 mg (2 pills) three times daily, wash your breast with Epsom salt if possible. Feel better:)
