Im 21 and Found tiny breast lump

Hello I am 21 years old and about 2 days ago me and my boyfriend noticed a small red mark on my left breast, after looking into it more it is a very small lump slight under the skin, it is not even the size of a grain of rice, the skin around it is soft but it is hard to tell if the lump is as it is so small, however I can move it around and roll in it my fingers, the redness is slowly going away and its not really painful its a little bit painful if i poke and stuff at it but normally its not painful at all, i suffer for really bad anxiety and I've been trying to contact my doctor but no luck, hopefully I get through tomorrow,but my anxiety has got the best of me and I'm not eating or sleeping and I'm constantly worrying and feel like crying, I done the wrong thing and googled and it made me so much worse, as now I'm overthinking every little pain I've ever had, everything else seems completely normal I've checked both breasts and underarm and the only other thing I found was a spot on my opposite underarm but it was able to be popped and its very common with me as I usually get then when shaving, but I think really im just looking for some reassurance, I have read that most lumps are non cancerous but its the few articles I've seen where it has unfortunately been cancer and they are the ones really sticking in my mind, I can't trying and contact my doctor till 8.30 tomorrow morning and I know im going to be lying awake all night worrying, so im just wondering if anyone has went through anything similar and is able to provide your story or reassurance. Thank you so much in advance xx

  • Hi!

     

    i hope you managed to get a doctors appointment! I'm 22 and currently waiting for biopsy results due to a concerning mass in my breast. I can't comment abo googling stuff because I've done the same and worried myself sick. What I can say though, is use this forum instead!! It's far more reassuring knowing other people have been through similar rather than reading medical jargon!!

     

    most lumps are non-cancerous, and at our age cancer is sooo uncommon!! 
     

    you're definitely doing the right thing getting it checked out, hopefully the doctors will say it's nothing to worry about. Let us know if you get referred to the breast unit and I can tell you ano it my experience there too xx

  • Thank you so much, its good to talk to someone else around my ages as I've never really knowing anyone my age thats went through similar, im an waiting on the doctor calling me back in about half an hour for an over the phone appointment and hopefully just go from there, I made myself worse last night as I was sore in my chest neck areas and of course I Googled again and it suggested cancer again but I think personally its just muscle pain as my nephew was climbing all over me yesterday, so im happy to be finally getting speaking to a doctor and hopefully get answers xx
