Question : I have a bruise on my right breast very near my right armpit. The bruise seems to have a bit of fluid as well. My right arm seems mildly tingly every now and then. Have had this for about three days now. Never had anything like this ever before. Should I be worried?

Generally such bruises heal itself or with local application with in day or two .As it is still persisting after after three days ,so medical evaluation should not be avoided.
