Hello and thanks for your post

Breast changes are very common in young girls. As your breasts are still developing, changes may develop and these are nearly always due to normal changes in the breast tissue. But, I appreciate it can still be worrying when you find differences in how your breasts look or feel.

Whenever someone contacts us with something that is worrying them we always suggest they make an appointment to see their GP and get checked out to be on the safe side. But I don’t think you need to be overly concerned as breast cancer would be very rare in someone of your young age. The symptoms you have are much more likely to be caused by ordinary everyday problems that teenagers may get from time to time. This can often be related to hormonal changes.

The organisation Breast Cancer Now has some information about what is normal at this link. They also have some more information for teenagers here.

Please speak to your parents or trusted adult about your worries as I'm sure they would want to support you. To put your mind at rest, they may suggest making an appointment to see your GP or practice nurse and you can ask to see a female doctor if one is available. They will examine you and will hopefully put your mind at ease.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Celene
