Lump under nipple that hurts a LOT

I was watching a film today and suddenly realised my left boob was hurting so I took my bra off because I thought it was maybe because my bra was too tight or something but then I noticed a large lump under the nipple and it's increased in pain the past few hours. But it only started a few hours ago and in the morning and midday it was perfectly fine and I didn't notice anything. I'm 15 and have had nothing like this happen before and I'm pretty scared and not sure what to do.

  • Hi Siouxsie,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear about this lump that you've just found. I am not a doctor, but chances are that this is more hormonal and to do with your period, than anything else. It would be unusual for somebody of your age to have cancer and cancer is seldom accompanied by pain. The other thing that this could be is an infection, so please see your GP as soon as possible to make sure.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
