A member asked:

A few days ago i noticed a small light brown spot on top of left breast. doesnt hurt or itch. approx 4mm diameter. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast pigmentation: You describe what is probably a benign pigmented area which is not uncommon. It probably has nothing to do with the breast or with any breast abnormality. If tenderness or a mass is detected, see your healthcare provider, but as you describe this, it is probably of little concern.
