Hi - Keep your eye on it. It could be a minor skin issue, a bug bite... a topical irritation of somekind. If it remains unchanged for a couple of weeks, you might want to have it examined, to see what it is. If it worsens - if your breast becomes red, hot, swollen, itchy, or painful, or the spot gets a lo tbigger - best to see a doctor, OK? Good luck - PJH
