teenage breast lump?

Question:

Help! I think I may have a lump on my left breast. However, its on my nipple. Could I be confusing a lump with something else? Also, it seems to only appear when my nipples are not ...how to put this, firm? out? taught? Ugh, I'm sorry, that all sounds rather perverted. I'm only a teenager, though! I thought lumps usually occured later in life! Please help! It's been there for quite some time, I'm not sure how long, and I'm pretty worried!

Answers:
Lumps could appear at any age. They just happen to be more common in women over 35. Don't freak out, though, because it could be from a multitude of different things. Don't automatically assume it's cancerous. Definitely tell your mom or another trusted female relative, and ask if any other females in your family have a history of lumps in their breasts. And then follow up with your gynecologist.

Good luck, sweetie!

It could be a fibroadenoma or fibroadenosis. Consult your GP.
