Linda, since you had this problem on your other breast and it disappeared, I'd be inclined to tell you it's some kind of skin issue, and just wait for it to go away (or see a dermatologist about it). But keep your eye on it; if it worsens in any way (becomes more extensive, or if your breast seems infected – red, hot, painful, swollen – then best to see your doctor, OK? Good luck - PJH
