I am 17 years old , both my breasts are not of equal size,
only one of my nipple is inverted, and it itches.
If you think I have breast cancer, please tell me what kind of doctor to contact.

It will make a difference if you've always had an inverted nipple or if it just recently developed. If you've always had it then you don't have to worry. But if it recently just got that way then you should be examined by a doctor to find out the cause. You're very young for cancer but still you should see a doctor.

You need to learn some knowledge about breast diseases and cancer. There is a breast self-exam method on "www.smile.org.au". Greatly suggest you visit it. Usually people are suggested do the regular breast self-exam and annual clinical examination.
Furthermore, you need to tell your parents your situation. You can visit your local doctor who will give you some basic examination and further step you need to take.

It is not likely that this is cancer.
BUT
If in doubt, see your local Dr and get it checked.
Your Dr will be able to give you a definate answer, teach you how to do regular monthly checks yourself, and let you know when you should get your next proffessional check.
Cancer can show a wide variety of symptoms in different people and if you have any reason to be suspicious, get it checked!

Your best bet in this type of situation is to seek professional advice from your family doctor. If there is something wrong, he or she can refer you to the necessary health care specialist.

those of us out here in the information super-highway are just regular people. We do not know if you have cancer. Probably not based on your age, but go to any family practice or general practice doctor.
