Is this normal??? Sort of BFing related!

I stopped BFing when DD was 6 weeks old.

Fast forward to today- I was trying something on in a fitting room and I had my bra off- and there is a blue-ish veiny looking mark on my b00b and I am also LEAKING BM! I haven't BF in 9.5 months. Is it normal for me to be leaking so long after I stopped?

Help!

Hello...

I BFd for 4 months. I have very veiny boobs, but I think I always have.

I have not leaked BM since, BUT a friend of mine warned me that I might after stopping even a long time after stopping because she does. Her daughter is 3 and she says every once in a while she still leaks a tiny bit.

when I had a mammogram last month I mentioned to the specialist that even though I stopped BF'ing about 2 years ago, I still had a lot of discharge, especially after a hot shower or something. What she said was that after you bf'ed your milk ducts don't just stop working, they still can produce small amounts of an oily secretion that can range in color from white to yellow to green. So its completely normal.
