Does anyone know if a mother's breast is more prone to bruising when she is
lactating? We have never run into this before. A mom came in and asked us
what we thought of the bruising on her breast. It is on her breast above the
nipple and areola, about 1/2 way to the collarbone and looks like someone has
punched her in the breast tissue! It is black and blue and green just like a
bruise and larger than her fist. She denies any tenderness or any injury.
It looks like a blood vessel just burst in there. We are stumped! Claudia G
