It seems like you have a spot on your breast that changed color and is raised. This could be:

A bruise: It might have started as a bruise and is healing, which makes it look black and blue.
Skin irritation: Friction from clothes or movement could cause a red or purple spot.
A cyst: A small lump or pimple could cause a raised spot.
Since it's been there for a while and is tender, it's best to see a doctor. Contact Irvine Skin to get it checked out and make sure it's nothing serious.

Appears to be a benign growth. Seek medical care if it changes.
Probably an infected or inflamed epidermal cyst, but definitely deserves a trip to your doctor.
This could be a few things. The black and blue that you mention is a hard to notice in the photo. More than likely an inflamed hair follicle, but could be more serious. If it isn’t getting smaller over the course of a few days, you should see a doctor or directly to a board certified dermatologist.
Hope that helps!
There are no alternatives for this other than to seek a medical professional to make an in person evaluation. I would strongly urge you to do this soon.
