I have had a brown marking under/on my right breast that started out small but has continued to get bigger, it feels like velvet and is not itchy or sore. This marking is not due to my bra rubbing as it is above where my bra would sit, I have no idea what it is and would really like to know if anyone knows what it is! Thank you

The description of "feels like velvet" is nearly always an indication of Acanthosis Nigricans. Its not harmful and you cant catch it or pass it on but it may be a symptom of something else going on. Do see your doctor who can run tests. The most common problem it shows is a tendency to diabetes.
