Category:Small red patch on breast near nipple

I just found I have small red patch near my nipple .

It is not painful or itchy. Small portion of that patch looks like a bruise. I'm worried because I never seen this before on my breast. Would you please advise me of this?

Hi - At this point, probably you should just keep your eye on it. Any chance you did in fact bruise yourself somehow, and just didn't realize it? If it doesn't seem to be disappearing soon, and/or if it appears to be getting larger, set your mind at rest by calling the doctor, OK? Good luck - PJH
