Purple marks

For the past year or more I have been getting purple blotchy marks over my breasts more so on the underside than the top, I am very pale so the veins are also quite prominent. I am big busted and when I first noticed a patch of this went to GP who said it was the weight of my breasts causing the problem. Now I have larger patches on both sides and my breasts especially the left one feels very lumpy and sore and occasionally I get a really deep stabbing inside. I will make an appointment to see another GP, but wondered if this was happening to anyone else. I am 60 this year so post menopausal. I did have a mammogram whilst the smaller patch was there and this came back clear. Not overly concerned about cancer they just look ugly.
