I'm feeling this uncomfortable pain right under my right breast, kind of like a bruise, especially when I press on it. It's right on the rib below my breast. There's no lump or swelling, but it's just been bothering me a bit. I haven't had any injuries or anything that might explain why it's hurting. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

The pain under your right breast, feeling like a bruise, could be related to costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone), intercostal muscle strain, or even gastrointestinal issues like gallbladder disease or acid reflux, so it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
