What Causes Swelling At The Side Of The Breast?

I have noticed a swelling at the side of breast not on it. It s more on top of ribs at the right side and appears to be a swollen vein like shape feels ropey to touch and bruised about 2inches long? No other symptoms could it just be a strain from activities I ve done or more serious?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms can be a related to a muscle strain.

I suggest to do a mammogram to exclude other possible conditions.

Meanwhile,I suggest using Voltaren gel for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

Kind regards!
