I'm having dimpling grooves in my breast at a young age that appear quite quickly and few eventually turn a strange of red, (to me it looks purple.) While doing the self examination test ? I was able to feel clumps of a somewhat hard substance. I'm not sure if what I felt was simply a vein or something more serious. Should I have this checked out or is it nothing to worry about?

You need to have it checked out. I'm a little unclear if this problem comes and goes, or if it has been getting progressively worse. It's possible that you have stretch marks from your breast growing quickly, but the red/purple color sounds alarming. Please call your doctor today.
