A member asked:
Bruise on breast. covers half the nipple and some outer region. what is the cause? has a swollen red center. extremely painful.

Ans: Bruising is a sign of trauma. Did you have any injury or roughness to this are? The redness may be a result of trauma as well or may be infectious. But I would suspect more trauma since the large bruise is there. See your doctor for complete exam and be totally truthful
