Hi. Iam 15 and i have a lump on my boob. I just noticed it today.. I'm pretty sure it just appeared today. I don't know what it could be. I mean, girls my age don't usually get breast cancer. I know it's possible, but i guess it could also be beningn. My mom told me that she had a benign lump about 12 years ago. Hm, maybe it's that? I haven't told her about it, though.
Please help, what do you think it is? What should i do?
thanks

Most of the time, it is benign and some even go away on their own, but it's best to be safe. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]

Also, there is this thing called "normal abnormal" which means that you find something that's not really supposed to be there, or that doesn't look right (abnormal), but it's totally harmless (normal). Most things like what you found are harmless. However, you should always see a doctor just to be sure. [ cailoisa's advice column | Ask cailoisa A Question ]

good luck!!

xXxpinky615xXx answered Tuesday August 9 2005, 8:48 pm: Well, is the lump like SKIN or is it sort of blistery? If it's sort of like a blister, it could be a cyst. Here's what you should do.
1)Tell your mom about it and have her look at it
2)Go to the doctor and have them look at it.
That way, you'll know for sure what it is instead of having people on here giving you an answer that isn't exact. For all we know it could be a tumor and it COULD possibly be breast cancer. You won't know for sure unless you go to the doctor. I'm not saying that it IS a tumor, but you really should go to the doctor. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
