I would be VERY surprised if it was cancer, due to your young age. Maybe it was a pimple that got infected, or it could very well be a harmless cyst. Let your mom know what is going on and a trip to the doctor would be a good idea, but I'm sure it's nothing serious.

This is unlikely to be cancer.
Statistically, males are less likely to develop breast cancer, someone aged 15 is even less likely to develop breast cancer, and cancerous lumps in the breast are normally slow growing and painless.
However, you have something that is causing you pain and concern. You haven't said how long this has been there, but if longer than a week, you should be consulting a Dr.

Well one good sign is that it hurts. According to two of the doctors I have been too. It is more than likely a cyst. They will take a very small biosopy and then if it needs to be removed will do that. Don't borrow trouble.

Likely a cyst. Does not sound like cancer go get it looked at.

It's probably just an ingrown hair but DO go see a doctor.

Definitely go see your doc, because we cannot see you to be able to really know what it looks like.
