General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Do not neglect any kind of breast abrasion or bruise. You are recommended to get physically examined, unexplained bruising can sometimes be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer. The signs are pain & inflammation, skin dimpling, change in the appearance of nipples, etc. Get evaluated, you may have to get CT or bone scan done to confirm the spread to the lymph nodes. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy are quite effective.

It is not necessary that it may be cancer but gets examined to rule out the risk at the earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
