Discoloration on reconstructed breast 4 years later?

I just noticed a light brownish spot on my left breast after a BMX and reconstruction about four years ago. It's about the size of a quarter and just below the nipple. It's mostly round in shape. There isn't any pain, it doesn't have a rash-like feeling and no swelling or anything. The skin just suddenly changed color. I'm freaking out a little bit because it's Sunday and I can't call my oncologist until tomorrow. Has anyone had this experience?

    Hi Katiegrey.

    I had the exact thing happen on my radiated reconstruction a couple of years after. I was concerned. Had biopsy and it’s was nothing. The sucky thing is the punch biopsy became infected and have been on antibiotics now for a month. I wish I had listened to my doctors who told me it was nothing to be concerned about. Definately see your breast surgeon to discuss concerns. But mine was normal reaction I was told
