What Causes Bruises On Breasts With History Of Breast Lumpectomy?
Hi I'm a bit worried I have a hx of breast lumpectomy n biopsys (bilateral) last one was about 5 years I'm 31 years old and today before getting in the shower I noticed threes bruises dime sized at 3'o clock 4'o and 5'o clock but I took a really hot shower and when I got out the werent there anymore should I b worried??
Based on your details there's nothing to worry about. It seems to be related to hot shower where the high temperature dilates blood vessels , so please avoid this. Rest and applying ice dices locally will reduce them. If you use any drug or if the bruises will persist next time more than 2 weeks please see a doctor.
All the best!
