Okay I'm 13 years old and a female. Yesterday I noticed a small bump on my left breast, near the nipple. It sometimes hurts when I touch it but it also looks somewhat like a pimple. I'm really worried that this could be breast cancer. There is no history in my family of having breast cancer. Do you think it's cancer?

Thanks! =]

All advice is appreciated!

Don't panic. It probably isn't as at thirteen, you are unlikely to develop breast cancer :) Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't change a lot or grow. If it does, go to the doctor.
I'm no expert but personally...if it IS cancer (which is very unlikely so please don't stress!!), showing up above the skin then it is more likely to be skin cancer than breast cancer. Breast cancer isn't even noticeable (as you can't feel it) until the lump is quite big and then it is inside the breast. It's most likely NOTHING at all to worry about, but like I said, keep an eye on it. You should be fine!
