Please, go to see your doctor! For your age it probably isn't a tumor, but a doctor can tell you what it is and what you can do.

Okay, first of all breathe. What you describe sounds more like a cyst than a tumor, and breast cancer at your age is EXTREMELY rare. So although it's not something pleasant, it's not likely something deadly either. You will need to visit the doctor to have it checked and treated though, so you do need to tell your parents. It may also be an abcess, which is a type of infection like a zit, but larger. A cyst can be drained, and so can an abcess, and you would be given antibiotics afterwards.
Regardless of what the spot turns out to be, the sooner it is treated the better it will be for you. Tumors don't usually pop up or enlarge as quickly as you describe, but even so, the sooner it is removed the better it is for you. Don't procrastinate any more. Tell your parents, and go see the doctor. You will see it's not as bad as you are thinking, and you will feel very much relieved.

There is no way to diagnose whether or not you have breast cancer. This could be just some type of rash or infection or a benign lump.

YOU MUST TELL YOUR MOTHER OR DAD RIGHT AWAY. GET TO A DOCTOR and let your doctor do the proper tests to determine whether or not this is cancer.

If it is cancer, the sooner you take care of it, the better chance you have to beat it.

At your age, I really don't think you have cancer but being afraid will only create a much larger problem for you.

Please tell your parents or a trusted adult such as a school counselor right away. Do not wait. Just think of how relieved you will feel when you find out it's not cancer. That's what you must focus on now.

God Bless you!

the chances that you have breast cancer are so minimal they almost don't exist. don't freak out. What you describe is not the typical way cancer would show up. Cancer is usually a very hard lump that is not at the skin's surface, but deeper in the breast or armpit. Just talk to your mom - maybe she can feel it or take a look (this is no time to be embarrassed - and mom knows what boobs look and feel like - and made yours anyway!). then you can make an appointment at the doctor or planned parenthood or some other clinic and find out what it is. Honestly it sounds like a clogged pore to me - or some kind of harmless cyst.

This isn't unique. The sanatorium might do that at any time when something unique gave the impression at the screening mammogram. An ultrasound might support distinguish among a tumor and a cyst. But to reply your bargaining aspects: so much ladies who get breast melanoma don't have any loved ones historical past of breast melanoma, and the mammogram is displaying a signal of melanoma. There are plenty of different matters it would be, and the percentages are that it's such a different matters. Try to not fear. Even in the event that they desire to do a biopsy, so much biopsies are poor too.

It's hard to visualize what you describe, but I can tell you that it is quite common for women to get cysts (non cancerous lumps...that can be large or very small and have different consistencies, similar to what you've described) on their breasts or ovaries and they can develop and remain there without causing any trouble at all. I'm not saying you shouldn't get it checked out, but just don't worry too much until you do....it's also very rare that a gril your age develop breast cancer (not impossible but rare). I would recommend you see a doctor though for a simple breast exam.....really they're not that bad and you can rest easy after that..
Good luck and stay positive! Happy Holidays!

You are 15 so breast cancer is not likely. Could be due to you developing or that you at some time recently bumped your self or in someway bruised your breast. If thee spot is red it could even be infection. Dear girl your mother is the person you should talk to & right now. It might be wise to have a Dr. check you out. The person who wwill know what to do is your closest friend your mother. Don't let fear & worry stop you.I suspect you are worrying for nothing. Off this machine & go tell her, please.

Please visit your doctor. It is impossible for anyone to give you an accurate diagnosis. It could be something very serious or it could be something else. Either way you need to be seen by your physician. If you are scared to talk to someone, confide in someone you do trust. Honestly, it is better to be frightened or embarassed and to be alive. If you feel a lump, have it checked out tomorrow! Do not wait hoping it will go away. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now, but you need to speak with someone. It is better to ask someone about it and be wrong then it is to go on here hoping for someone to diagnose /misdiagnose your condition.

at your age its unlikely to be breast cancer. However you should show a doctor. Its sound like a swollen gland or maybe just a pimple. If it turns out to be Cancer the sooner you start treatment the better your chances of a full recovery so tell your mum and get to the doctors asap

It sounds like a breast infection. It happens babe, show your mom so she can have it looked at. It sounds to me like a mammory gland is infected. It can get quite painful if not treated....nothing to mess with. Go tell your mom you have this red lump on your breast, she gave birth to you and will likely be the one to show you how to nurse your children so showing her your nipple is nothing!
