Brief Answer:
probably not anything serious

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Bruise on breast is probably due to pressure or unnoticed injury. Usually this subsides on its own in a few days. If you notice bruises or small red spots elsewhere in the body then please consult with your doctor. In that case you need platelet count test.

Otherwise nothing to do. Continue with your normal routine.

Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
