Answer 1

Sweetie..
You must see a doctor..
any breast lump is considered malignant (cancerous) until proven otherwise..
I studied medicine and i can give u and idea about the symptoms u should worry about..
1) the presence of the lump it self
2) any change in skin covering the breast
3) and nipple discharge
4) painful or painless lump (painful goes more with benign (non-cancerous) lumps)
5) loss of weight/ loss of appetite
6) symptoms of metastasis to other organs (i.e. coughing if metastasis to lung has occured)

now you should examine ur self.. trying to find out the size of the lump, if it's fixed or mobilizing.. if ur nipple discharge when u squeeze on it.. but u can't examin ur armpits if u don't know the technique.. cuz it's not just about touching and a doctor should examine u..

so my advice, please see your doctor.. even if your parents know, this is not about them, it's about you!
please.... see a doctor !

good luck!

Answer 2

there is super debate over this occasion. right this is a factor of an editorial the choose arises to study. I even have attaced the link to the entire article. you could study it and make your own determiniation. I, even nonetheless, have faith that in case you will get any variety of maximum cancers it somewhat is already on your genes and if the antipersperant would not get you, some thing else will. Does known use of antiperspirants boost a woman’s threat for arising breast maximum cancers? A researcher in the U.ok. says the respond could o.k. be definite, yet professionals tell WebMD that there remains little information to returned up the declare. The antiperspirant-breast maximum cancers declare has finished some thing corresponding to city legend status on the internet and in the favored press, even with that actuality that few scientific analyze in human beings have addressed the difficulty.

Answer 3

Sweetie, it could be a harmless cyst. The problem is that you MUST find out. If you feel that you absolutely can't tell your parents, is there another family member you can talk to? If not, how about your school nurse?
