I found a lump on my right breast, right over the pink of my nipple.
I found a lump on my right breast, right over the pink of my nipple. It feels like a tiny little pea. its a perfect round. i can grab it an like pull it and stuff. im 17 and i know its very young to worry about it but i am. I noticed it about a month and a half ago. i can see it threw my shirt when im not wearing a bra. but it underneath my skin. i also tryed poping it incase it was a pimple. im really scared! i need answers! im afraid its cancer! :'(
GO TO YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY AND INSIST ON GETTING IT CHECKED OUT FOR BREAST CANCER...I was 35 and breat feeding my baby when I found my lumps and I was pushed off for 2 months because I was young and nursing. Turned out I had cancer...needed surgery, chemo, radiation...I am doing well now. Insist on a mammogram and /or ultrasound ASAP!!!! YOU MUST BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE! (BREAST CANCER S UNFORTUNATELY FOUND AMONG YOUNGER WOMEN) Good luck! P

M-J, The lump is probably not cancer, but it does need to be checked out. The most common type of lump in someone your age is called a fibroadenoma, and they are often found near the nipple according to Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book. This type of lump is harmless, but only a doctor can determine what this lump is. Try not to panic; even in older women lumps usually turn out to be benign (not cancer). It's good that you are noticing what is happening with your breasts and asking questions.
