Yes, itching and hurting can mean all of the things people have mentioned. I don't want to alarm you, but breast cancer doesn't necessarily start with a lump and yes, teenagers have been known to get breast cancer, although it is not common. Please, for your own health. See a gynocologist now. If you haven't told your Mom, TELL HER NOW.
As a breast cancer survivor I know how important it is to educate yourself about this disease.

Breast cancer can strike at any age. It was just on the news last week where they were interviewing a 10 year old girl from California who was just diagnosed with breast cancer so it can strike at any age. I had breast cancer 2 years ago when i was 26. Although you say that you shooting pains in your right breast breast, i highly doubt that it is breast cancer. Breast cancer doesn't usually cause pain. But if i were you i would go to see my primary care doctor just to be on the safe side.

Cancer does not hurt--what hurts is when it starts destroying organs, and that's when it usually is too late(it spread)
You will have to see a doctor about your condition because it could be anything: the pain can also be because the breast is still growing, and the itching could be a skin condition--there is no way of telling what it is. Only a doctor can tell you....and give you approbiate medication

Pains in the breasts can just be growing pains which is totally normal. Itching can also be a result of this. The best thing to do though if you're worried is go 2 your doctors and have a word with him/her.

At the ripe age of 15.. your body is growing. That's whats happening most likely.. Its highly unlikely to get breast cancer at your age. Don't freak out. Your body is going to change and things are going to hurt. the itching means that they're stretching out.
go puberty...
it stinks

You can get breast cancer at any age, the chances are slimer if you are 15. If you are worried then go to the doctor, as with anything. But, breast cancer is usually spotted through a lump. if you are worried, just pop to your doctors.

It is always possible, but itching and pain means that they are growing!!it's not something to worry about, but if it would make you feel better, go see a doctor.

while possible, HIGHLY unlikely. your breasts are still growing and probably stretching a little bit (which is why they are itching) try putting lotion on them and routinely checking for lumps. if you find one, call your doctor.

at 15 your breasts are still growing - the stretching can cause what you mentioned - if is both breast then that is likely, if it is only one side you need to get it checked by a doctor
if you continue to worry that it is abnormal - please see you doctor
