Breasts look and feel bruised

Hi all,

My baby is just over 3 weeks old. I am exclusively breastfeeding. Over the last week or so I have notice bruising around both breasts. It looks like lines of bruising radiating out from the nipple. It is worse on one side and I can feel the bruises being pushed when DS nurses. Is this fairly normal? I did have the beginning of mastitis a couple of weeks ago but luckily it didn't progress to needing antibiotics. Could the bruising be related to this?

TIA! :)
