Bruise that won't go away

BarbSH · May 2021

Months ago I noticed change in my right breast. Looks different. Indention on one side and in that same spot there has been a good sized greenish/yellow area that looks like a healing bruise. It has been there for about 8 months. The skin where it is green is rough/dry feeling and can be itchy sometimes. Tried lotion & cortisone but that didn't help. Had mammo & US 4 months ago but it showed nothing. The bruise-like spot is still there so I went to a dr who is tried to tell me that it is a blood vessel. That frustrates me because it is obviously not a blood vessel. Since I had implants years ago they told me to go to a plastic surgeon. Not sure what to do. Live with my green itchy boob? Go to a plastic surgeon? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I know that this isn't normal but doctors don't seem to care or seem concerned.

Hi BarbSH, Since your mammo and US were normal I think your plastic surgeon could rule out a problem with your implant. Are you really fair? My Mom was a redhead, very fair and you could see her veins. Maybe even a dermatologist could help. Good luck!

You could see a dermatologist, who could diagnose if it's a skin issue, but also do a punch biopsy to rule out other causes.

I agree on checking with a derm - it's amazing what they can diagnose just with a glance. I hope that's true for you as well. 8 months is a long time - understand your concern.....

Thank you all for the responses. I will check with dermatologist. I am pretty healthy and have never had anything like this.
