What is this little red mark same area outside nipple on both breasts (Photos)

jewells38
Hi. My surgeon advised me to start my massages at 14 days, which I did. At 16 days I noticed a little red mark on my left breast first, and now today at 18 days I noticed the exact same mark in the exact same spot on my right breast. I have had very sensitive nipples but I am not massaging too hard/roughly on the breast surrounding them like they showed me... the mark is not raised or itchy... what is this? Should I stop massaging? Will this go away? Should I go to my surgeon?
