Suggest Treatment For Lumps And Severe Bruising On Breast After Injury

I had a moderately bad car accident and my right breast was extremely bruised from the seat belt. Now, as the bruise is starting to go away, I noticing some very firm lumps under the skin where the bruise was. Should I be concerned since they are in my breast?

Hello.

Lumps in the breast are usually a source of concern. It is likely that they are simply due to scarring from the injury to the breast.

However, to be on the safe side, I would advise you to go for an ultrasound of your breasts just to make sure there is nothing to worry about.

All the best.
