So I am 15 year old turning 16 and I have noticed some changes in my breast. Theyre uneven and one has suddenly grown outwards and I think that's normal to have uneven breasts. But I noticed that I have a rash/spotty chest but there not spots and I have dimpled nipples as well. I have also had some chest pain but I want to relate that to anxiety and my Nipples are red and a bit purple. 
I don't know what to do I think I'm over reacting because it's common at this age for breasts to grow, but then I don't know whether this is normal or not.

    Hi and thanks for the post

    It's very common for people of your age to have breasts that are changing in size, colour and shape. They will carry on developing for a good few years .

    If you feel comfortable to do so, do have a chat with a trusted adult or parent about your concerns- although it's worth remembering that breast cancer in your age group is virtually unheard of.

    You can read more here about some of the things teenagers worry about regarding their breasts  

    It's best not to go onto cancer forums at your age as cancer is rare at your age and will only raise your anxiety.

    All the best
