Reddish patches come and go

I noticed last week while I was on my period that the lower part of my breasts around the nipples have what looks like capillaries that are very noticeable. After my period ended, they seemed to go away, or at least were less noticeable. I didn't worry anymore, but the next day they were back. They don't seem to be noticeable in the mornings after I get up, but then they become more visible throughout the day. I can pull my skin taught and see them, they look like little webs of purple vessels.

I'm concerned about it, but I can't afford to go to the doctor to get everything checked out. I don't know what to do. Anyone have similar issues?

    They sound quite normal to me. Breasts can change in size and appearance during the menstrual cycle, and pregnancy due to blood flow and also as we grow older. If you have no itching,lumps, scaly or discoloured patches on your breasts then you are probably OK.Obviously if this get really troublesome or you are still worried then do go to your doctor.
