Red Circle On Chest, Between Breasts, Getting Bigger And Redder. What Could This Be ?

I have a red circle on my chest , between my breast that looks like a slightly raised rash . It appeared after i bruised myself with an umbrella. It has been there for more than six months. Today it seems bigger and redder. A few days ago, i noticed another similar condition on my back. I dont remember bruising my back for it to appear. What could this be?
