General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
I think it is due to trauma that produce breast hematoma.
Injury to blood vessels lead leakage of blood and collected under breast tissue produce red mark.

But it should be differentiated from the breast abscess and seroma due to surgery complication.
So consult the surgeon
Confirm the hematoma by USG and Mmography
If small just require clinical observation
If large need drainage and excision
Continuous follow up for resolution of hematoma is also required.

Apply cold pad and take tablet Dan-sr


Hope this may help you
Best regards
