A member asked:
I finished radiation a week ago for breast cancer. is it possible to have ecchymosis, near the breast ,not a burn or did i injure myself. not sore, but may have bumped myself without realizing would cause a bruise?

Yes,it is possible to have an ecchymosis ,related to the effect of radiation on the blood vessels. A small blood vessel could have ruptured. The ecchymosis will clear away in the next few days.

It is not from radiation but probably from a bump. If persistent pl see your doc.
