If the bruise is small and fading, you probably don't need to worry about it.

If it's quite large it might be best to see a GP; they're unlikely to be able to treat a bruise, however they can reassure you that it's nothing more than a bruise.

If you notice that generally you are bruising more easily than normal (finding unexplained bruises elsewhere), it might be best to see a GP. Some general vitamin and mineral deficiencies can mean that bruising occurs more easily; your GP can easily check for these.

What is wrong if you have a lump in your right breast and could it have been caused by your husband's harsh bite?

It is possible that the lump is caused from the trauma from the bite. It is kind of like a bruise but the blood pools into one place. If it is a bruise, the lump would be tender and should disappear in a couple of days if you massage and rotate it (this will disperse the pooled blood). Unfortunately there are many other things this lump could be - from swollen lymph nodes to a small benign growth to breast cancer. Please go and see a doctor about it if it is still there in a week. oh!my god!
