I have a large red area on my left breast that gets darker in the shower or when exposed to heat. Any ideas what it could be? No other symptoms have been experienced such as acne or irritation. The area is very clearly defined and stays in the same spot. Will go to the doctor if I experience any problems other than cosmetic.
Answer:
It sounds more like a vein that's a little closer to the surface than usual. It would dialate in the heat, expanding to give off the excess heat, which would make it look darker or redder than usual. You can press on it to see if it goes white, and then the color returns when you let go. If it's a vein, it will blanch with pressure and recolor as it refills. As long as it's not tender or causing any other problems, you could probably wait until the next annual exam and ask the gynecologist to have a peek. Or if you happen to go to the doctor for something else, you could always ask then.
