These are excellent questions. I am not certain but I don't think bruises will migrate. A bruise is formed when the tiny blood vessels on that spot where you see the bruise have leaked blood (due to the roughness). The blood looks bluish at first and then changes color as the body reabsorbs it until it is all gone. This happens slowly in some parts of our body and faster in others. Putting ice packs on it slows the bleeding down when it first happens but will only slow the healing process. Heat on it will speed the healing process but usually not make a huge difference.
I would guess that you have bruises in other places because you have bumped into something or worn your bra tightly in one spot. You would need to do something that would cause more blood vessels to break or leak blood. Women frequently get bruises on their breasts when they bump into things, or wear tighter clothing that squeezes the body too tightly.
My best suggestion for you is to check with a doctor that you trust and like, finding out what the doctor thinks might be the reason.
