Question:

I'm turning 13.
Answers:
TRY LOTION ON YOUR NIPPLES. THEY MIGHT BE DRY.
THATS NOT BREAST CANCER. BUT YouQA.com IS NOT GOIN TO ANSWER THAT. YOU SHOULD GET A CHECK UP IF YOU ARE REALLY CONCERNED
If you are concerned you should go to a doctor to get a breast exam. I am sure you are fine.
To die?
It's normal. It could be dry skin, or if your growing it could just be your skins reaction. There are many different things that cause breast cacer and different ways you can tell but I'm pretty sure that being itchy isn't a symptom. Try some lotion, or it could be caused from the bras you are wearing.
causes
In breast cancer, some of the cells in your breast begin growing abnormally. These cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells do and may spread (metastasize) through your breast, to your lymph nodes or to other parts of your body. The most common type of breast cancer begins in the milk-producing ducts, but cancer may also begin in the lobules or in other breast tissue.
In most cases, it isn't clear what causes normal breast cells to become cancerous. Doctors do know that only 5 percent to 10 percent of breast cancers are inherited. Families that do have genetic defects in one of two genes, breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) or breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2), have a much greater risk of developing both breast and ovarian cancer. Other inherited mutations — including the ataxia-telangiectasia mutation gene, the cell-cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK-2) gene and the p53 tumor suppressor gene — also make it more likely that you'll develop breast cancer. If one of these genes is present in your family, you have a 50 percent chance of having the gene.
Yet most genetic mutations related to breast cancer aren't inherited. These acquired mutations may result from radiation exposure — women treated with chest radiation therapy for lymphoma in childhood or during adolescence when breasts are developing have a significantly higher incidence of breast cancer than do women not exposed to radiation. Mutations may also develop as a result of exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, such as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in tobacco and charred red meats.
Researchers are now trying to discover whether a relationship exists between a person's genetic makeup and environmental factors that may increase the risk of breast cancer. Breast cancer eventually may prove to have a number of causes.
Yes you can get cancer at any age. I would tell your mom, dad, sister, gramma, someone and go to the doctor. The place woman do not check often is their nipple. You can get cancer there too.
It is very very highly unlikely and that is not a symptom, it could be from dry skin, bra irritation, or related to premenstrual bloating. If you're really concerned or have discharge from the nipple, go see a doctor.
If you are really 13 years old, you DO NOT have breast cancer. Personally, I think you are a just troll having fun posting nonsense.
i think its normal but go to the doctor just in case.i saw something on the health channel
if you have lumps underneath your breasts
that means you have cancer.
