Please, no stupid answers.. this is seriously breast cancer
Hi.
I am 14 years old, and lets just say my name is S. I am a girl, and a diabetic. I sometimes don't get my periods, its irregular and have went to the doctor about it. They said theres nothing they can do except give me birth control, which my mom did not want me on. I have about 9 or 10 lumps (size of tiny pimples) around my left and right nipples, and soreness around my breast. I really do not know if this is breast cancer related, but I am too afraid to go to the doctor. I am afraid to show anyone my body, so I won't go to a family member, or like I said, a doctor.. can one of you please give me some advice before I go to drastic measures such as my MOM?
sincerely,
S.

S,
I understand your concern. However, these "bumps" you're feeling and noticing are normal. If they're the size of tiny little pimples and they're around the areola of your breasts (the pink skin right around the nipple), it's normal. Most (if not all) girls, and some guys too, get these bumps at one point or another. Breast cancer lumps are larger, usually hard, and are about the size of ping-pong balls.
The reason your breasts are sore is because they are growing. This is, in fact, quite normal.
Your periods will be irregular because you're young. This happens to every teenaged girl. Your body is still changing, and is still new to the whole idea of periods. It doesn't really know what it's doing, and it will be irregular. It's normal.
Don't worry, I'm extremely shy. EXTREMELY! Especially about my body. I don't feel comfortable wearing a swimsuit without a T-shirt and shorts. Yeah, kinda extreme, but that's how I am. When I started my period, my mom actually wanted to show me how to use a tampon. I laughed at her. I can do some things by myself! Haha.. anyway.
If you're still unsure about the 'pimple bumps,' you can tell your mom about them. But I'm quite sure you're normal. Because if having pimple sized bumps and sore breasts means breast cancer, then I think hundreds of girls would have breast cancer too. Besides, the chances of you getting breast cancer at fourteen are almost nothing. You have nothing to worry about. :)

I'm gonna make this blunt and short: Doctor. Now.
I've had to go to parents with embarrassing things too, but I'm glad I did. It's for your health, and that's all that should matter.

First of all, the only drastic measure you are taking is not doing anything about it. Your first instinct and action should be to go to the doctor. Doctors exist for a reason! At 14 years of age, the risk of getting breast cancer is practically none. Chances are, the lumps you are feeling are normal for your body.
No matter what, just go to the doctor with or without your mom. Doctors are medical experts. If you're insecure, you can choose to go to a female doctor. They are not there to judge you. They are there to help and heal.
If there was something seriously wrong, which I highly doubt, would you prefer to regret doing nothing about it once it is too late?

Those are called growth bumps....there is a possibility it's cancer but normally cancer is large lumps like kind of swollen things in a way. Honestly I just think your boobs are growing that explains why they are sore! I hope i helepd and if you havew anymore questions drop one in my inbox! ♥ caitie

THIS IS NOT BREAST CANCER, it is completely normal. I understand, i freaked out as well when i noticed the bumps and my period was irregular. Truth is, the majority of girls have irregular periods, i have had it for two years and am still irregular. It is just how your body functions, it does not mean you are sick. The bumps around your nipples are actually suppose to be there. They are used in nursing when you get older. many people (if not all) have these, if not always at a point in their life. The soreness is normal, your boobs are growing. Mine still hurt now and then, lol and it does suck to be a girl. Don't worry darling.
Hope i helped <3

Ok, I will give this a shot. It does not sound like breast cancer. And I know some people who have had it. WHile breast cancer is "possible" at your age, it is very very rare. And usually breast cancer is not painful, not until the end. And you'd know long before you got to that point. Birth control pills ARE the ONLY way to fix irregular periods, but no need to go on them now, you can do that when you are older, and want to have more control over your periods so that you can plan things. It is much nicer to be able to track your periods with a calendar and not be left to the mercy of your hormones. I think the soreness is caused by growing, and by hormones. My breasts always got sore and tender before my period came. Your hormones are so irregular that your breasts are mostly likely sore and tender all of the time. The tiny pimples are normal and may never go away. I have seen a number of breast nipples that have those little white bumps around the center nipple. It is nothing to worry about. And no it is not unsightly. Many women have them. It is the way you are. Just stay healthy, get exercise and eat right. Drink lots of water and do NOT SMOKE. SMOKING is linked to breast cancer. So if you don't want to have breast cancer when you are in your forties or fifties, don't smoke.
