If this appeared suddenly, it may be a hematoma, a very bad reaction to an insect bite, or something topical. This doesn't soound like a breast cancer symptom, but nevertheless, it's something you should get checked. Any changes in your breasts, unless they come and go with your period, should be checked out. So best to call the doctor, OK? Good luck - PJH
