Purple Bruise On Right Breast, No Pain Or Itching. Cause For The Bruise?
Hi. I noticed yesterday morning when I was getting dressed, that there is a purple, bruise-looking, spot on my right breast . I know it was not there the night before and I have no tenderness, pain, itching or any other discomfort. It is about the size of a quarter. It really has me baffled because I know that there is no possibility that I could have bumped myself there accidentally either. Thanks.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The spontaneous appearance of a bruise without any history of injury in the area can happen due to a bleeding disorder. You need to get your coagulation profile evaluated in case such bruises are recurrent in future.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
