Embarrassing Illnesses

hi! i found a hard lump underneath my nipple a couple days ago, its really sore and is getting bigger i think, there is also a rash on my breast just next to the nipple. alot of these signs point to breast cancer but im just 16, surely i cannot have breast cncer or even a lump at my age???

Hi my girlfriend wouldn't show me how to check for booby cancer so I decided to look it up..I used the video and checked out my size a cup boobies..they're fine ..thanks..im 18 by the way

As another of these posts, I notice that y nipples appear to have dry/dead skin on them, not much but I do tend to notice it. I've always put this down to a possibility of my bra rubbing.
I also have the occasional raised lump which appear to be on a pore of my outer nipple area.
I don't have any pain but am now wondering if this is something I should be worried about, even though I must have noticed this for about 5 or 6 years. (i'm 21)

I'm 17 and today I found a lump at around 12 o'clock according to the video. It seems about the size of the tip of my index finger and is quite hard, painless and gritty. Today both of my breasts have started hurting too. It has been 3 days since my period finished for this month.

i am finding that my left breast in particular is very sore and sensitive around the middle of the breast, especially when i touch or squeeze it gently, even movements such as running are quite sore. i'm 18, i have tried to examine my breasts but it is painful and i cant carry on.

hi the other day my left boob was verry sort and it still hurting me. and it still is this this a sign of cancer ..

I felt something in my breast and went 2 the doctors to check it. She said it was a cist, and said it might have been caused because of an influx of hormones, which blocked the glands. I'm about due for my period so she said this may have caused this. Is this true? and how do u tell the different between a cist and a cancerous lump? I'm really paranoid about this because I know people that have had lumps in their breasts which were cancerous.

I have been aware for some time now that my nipples appear 'scabby' (for want of a better phrase) Ive been diagnosed with IBS and Ive had ovarian cysts so i am reluctant to present to my GP with yet another issue for fear of it being something trivial.
the very centre of my nipple looks like it has dead skin on it, but exfoliating doesnt shift it. also the outer nipple area has very uneven and lumpy looking 'glands?'
its not painful, and i have checked and dont appear to have any lumps. I would like to know if this sounds normal or would i need to have a medical professional examine my breasts?

breast self examination has been the subject of a large randomised control trial that found it did not make any difference to mortality and in fact the conclusion was it was harmful as it led to unnecessary biopsies which provoke anxiety and can lead to infection.

that is why the new idea is not to self examine monthly but to practice breast self awareness.

The programme gave the impression lumps are gritty and fixed. Mine which was cancer was mobile and rubbery.

It is better to observe how your breasts usually look and feel and report any changes. Most breast cancers appear in the upper outer quadrant, don't hurt and are quite hard and different from surrounding tissue. However, you can't always see them , you may observe dimpling, an inverted nipple or changes in the size of your breast.

So keep looking

hi i have got 1 boob bigger than the other one and i am really uncomfterble with this it puts me so down do you have any advise?
