Yesterday, as I was getting changed I notice I have a purple bruise about the size of a 5p coin appear on my right breast. It’s not painful but it is raised like a lump and quite a dark purple.
should I be worried??

Hi Felizabeth,
If you haven't noticed it before, it might be worth keeping an eye on it and if it doesn't improve or go away then you could make an appointment with your GP who will be able to advise.
Try not to worry for now, just see how things go and seek further advice for peace of mind if you're concerned or if it doesn't go away soon.
All the best,

Two more smaller purple bruises have now appeared on the same breast as previously stated... should I be concerned?
Hi Felizabeth,
It sounds as if a visit to your GP should be your next move. It may just be bruising from a bump which you thought nothing of at the time, but it won't do any harm to get it checked out. Besides, this will give you peace of mind, instead of worrying yet doing nothing about it.
I sincerely hope that it is nothing untoward.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Kind regards,

Did you ever find out what it was? As I'm also in a similar situation and would love to find out more also :)

I never found out what it was, the bruises just faded so I didn't worry about it
Thanks, I hope you're well.
Id recommend seeing a GP anyway
