What Causes Bruise And Chest Pain?
I have a spot that looks like a bruise on my right breast, with a small white lump in the middle. The whole thing is only about 2cm in diameter. I can get sharp pains in my chest sometimes, though not constantly. I went to my GP who looked at it very quickly and said it was just a normal bruise but I m worried as it s not gone away yet and it s been a few months now. I ve had a prolactinoma brain tumour in the past...should I be worried?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult dermatologist for this bruise like lesion.
2 cm lesion is big enough to take skin Biopsy and diagnosis.
Since you are operated case of prolactinoma, we should definitely rule out malignant spread in your case.
So skin Biopsy is must for this.
Also get done mammosonography of breast to rule out internal involvement.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
