Within the last 2 days I have noticed bruising near my nipple. I am not sure if I scratchex it or it came on its own what should I do?
Your new symptoms can be due to several reasons including development of a malignancy. It would be better to be examined by your doctor and appropriate treatment taken. I would be able to comment on the bruise if you can upload a picture.
