This may be a weird question, but are you athletic and busty? Perhaps have you taken up running recently? Because when I was younger I used to have this exact problem, and the issue was that standard sports bras were not sufficient. Every time I ran, they were bouncing up and down enough to actually bruise me. It took me an embarassingly long time to figure this out. Now I buy Enells, which are crazy-expensive but keep the girls in place.
If it's not a bra issue (and you aren't talking stretch marks or anything), then yeah, talk to a doctor. While it's probably nothing, breast bruises that don't go away can be associated with a rare (very rare, so don't freak out) form of breast cancer. It's good to let the doc do a breast exam once a year anyway.

Go see a doctor now! Are your gums bleeding? Are you bruising anywhere else? Are you tired or have weakness? Really, make an appointment. It may not be serious but better safe than sorry.

Have you had a mammogram? I'd go get one!
