Breast rash on both breasts!

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi all, Im new here

I have a rash on both of my breasts (pretty much the same on both), No pain, not itchy, no warmth, no pitting or orange peel skin. Im fair skinned and I do have large breasts which get in the way and I even find my elbows hitting and putting pressure on them when im typing and picking up my toddler ect so they do get knocked around a bit. It turns red after I have a shower or lean on them and more purple when its cold.

My husband says that they are always like this, I have noticed this since a month ago since I had covid (mainly because Im focusing on looking after my self more now)

(Not pregnant or breast feeding) Ive had 2 pregnancies

Has anyone experienced this before?

    I dont think its a rash, its blood vessels just under the skin. As you are fair skinned it shows up and if you have large breasts it shows even more. Its quite common, and your husband may be right.

    I don't know if you've had a doctor check you out yet or not, but I have the exact same thing. The specialist I went to said that it's just normal blood pooling due to gravity. Mine also get worse when I'm cold. He said it's common in large chested women with fair skin.
