Possible Causes_

1. _Pimple or acne_: A pimple on the breast can cause a bump, and the white layer on top might be a pustule.
2. _Blocked milk duct_: If the bump is near the nipple, it could be a blocked milk duct, which can cause a lump or bump.
3. _Breast abscess_: Although rare, a breast abscess can cause a painful lump, but in this case, your wife mentioned it doesn't hurt.
4. _Other skin conditions_: Other skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or keratosis pilaris can also cause bumps on the breast.

_Concerns and Next Steps_

1. _Bleeding_: The presence of blood is a concern and requires medical attention.
2. _Infection risk_: The broken skin and bleeding increase the risk of infection.
3. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist or a breast specialist, to evaluate the bump and provide a proper diagnosis.

_Precautions_

1. _Keep the area clean_: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.
2. _Avoid squeezing or popping_: Refrain from squeezing or popping the bump, as this can lead to infection or scarring.
3. _Monitor for signs of infection_: Watch for increased redness, swelling, pain, or pus, and seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.
