Hi Shannon,
Breast cancer at your age is very, very, very rare. In addition, cancerous lumps are not usually painful. That being said, it is always a good idea to talk to a doctor when you notice breast changes. This sounds like it could even be an ingrown hair - but why not find out for sure?
Take good care-
Laurie
