Is Persistent Red Mark On The Breast A Cause For Concern?
Hi have had breast cancer have been clear for 10 years shifted house 12 months ago and had a large piece of furniture fall and hit my breast which left a red mark. Really hurt when it happened. Red mark is still very obvious can t feel any lump should I have this checked out?
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 Dr. sagar
