mosy likely you do not have breast cancer. hormonal fluxes can cause rashes, pimples etc in any body crease or any part that you would get acne. As for the asbestos. Very low chance of asbestosis and any genetic problems. .Most of all. .if you have questions or concerns, call your doctor. He/she is there for you.

hi cool you have nothing to worry, generally the family history is a prerequisite for an early onset otherwise it is extremely rare.
There are procedures for self checking the net should help you.
The inflammation under the arms could be possible a type of rash or fungal infection which is prone to repeat at the same site and goes off . however if you are bit overweight then it could be a rash due to friction. also check it for limph node infection if it is in the armpit.
at the age of 18 leave the worries to others and make merry of your life

go to a dr but that isnt Cancer. BC is detected in the actual breast and can be felt like lumps UNDER skin, not over it. the asbestos explains the rash on your chest.
just go to a dr and stop freakin out.
