Ana, the chance of having breast cancer at your age is about .05% - in other words, nearly non-existent. Also, pain isn't generally a sign of breast cancer, nor is a dark spot on your breast. All of that said, however, it's ALWAYS a good idea to get any new breast lumps checked out by a doctor. So I wouldn't stress about it, but I'd definitely make an appointment, so the doctor can check you out and set your mind at ease. Good luck - PJH
