Strange lump? Breast Cancer?

This morning, I was in the shower when I noticed my breast looked a little irritated (red, sorta ichy). So I rubbed it (cuz scraching it would probaly make it worse) and I discovered a lump under my skin, around where the redness was. The lump is a little sore, but just barely, and it is completely under my skin so I am a little worried. It couldn't be a bug bite or anything because its under my skin. It only feels like this on the top upper part of my breast. Could it be Cancer? BTW, I am 14...

You should see your doctor, but only as a precaution.





I have fibroadenomas and fibrocycstic breast tissue, so I know the scare of finding a lump. However, most breast lumps are benign and can be related to your monthly cycles.





Talk with your mom about it and make an appointment with your family doctor if she thinks you need to, but please don't worry, it's likely nothing serious.

well i had that problem to once and it turned out to be a sist you usually get them within the week before your period but PLEASE go to the doctor


its so worth it
Reply:That would be very unlikely. Anyway the tumour is usually located in the lower outside quarter of the breast or in the axilla.





I would wait a day or two and then take an action, but I doubt it will be very serious.
Reply:SEE A DOCTOR
Reply:I had this problem when I was about that age, and I went to a gyn and she said that it was my hormones because I was about to start my period. But that if it stayed or got worse go back. So you should go check it out.
Reply:if u can move the lump around thats good, if not it could be something bad but its pretty rare. go get it checked its probably fatty tissue or something (not saying ur fat, it just happens)
Reply:the breasts will change shape especially at your age and also at different stages throughtout the month





however, talk to your mum, or someone (adult) close to you, they can go with to see a doctor it is VERY important that you get it looked at just in case it something seriouse





but as i said dont worry too much, but you know better safe than sorry and all that
