I'm 15, but I want to get into the habbit because my family has a strong history of breast cancer, and since my mom had cancer (not breast, but its still scared me a bit) I've been a bit paranoid.
I've asked this question before, but have gotten no good responses. It says to look for lumps, hard tissues, etc. But, none of the sopurces I find say what is normal. The center of my breastis very firm, hard even, with maybe half an inch of fat surrounding it, but the firmness peaks at the nipple. I noticed this starting when my breast first starting budding, starting at about the size of a pebble at the nipple. I know I'm getting detailed, but all the previous times I've asked this... Is this firmness in the center normal? Every source I've searched nevers tells me what the difference between an abnormal lump, bump, thickening of skin, or firmness, or normal is. It just says it generally. I don't know what's normal, and with family history like mine, I don't want to pass up something bad
