Lump under right areola?!

Hi there, I have recently turned 15 and found a small lump under my right areola. It is very mobile and painful and I’m worried sick. I know people will tell me to get it checked but I was just wondering if it could be a fibroadenoma or something since I’m so young!! Many thanks x

  • Hi there ...

    Bless ya ... the good news is it's really rare for someone your age to get it ... but saying that all lumps need checking ... try to book an appointment with a lady Dr... hopefully to put your mind at rest ...

    The soonest looked at soonest sorted ... but it is really rare ... so maybe have a word with your mum too .. it's always good to have someone to talk too ... let us know how it goes ... Chrissie x

  • Hiya! Thank you so much for replying! I am so terrified to tell my mum because she is actually a mamographer! It almost makes it worse because she knows everything about breast cancer so will immediately panic! 

  • Hi ya ...

    If your mum does mamorgrams,  she will know just how rare it is in someone your age ... I'm a mum too, so yes we do tend to panic for our kids ... I'm a prime example... but trust me, your mum will have the knowledge of getting you seen quickly ... 

    When you become a mum, you'll know we never stop over worrying ... you'll be the same .. but please tell her .. she may worry .. but if you say nothing she will feel more hurt you didn't tell her ... then if she does panic, you can hold her hand and tell her the odds are really good and reashore her ..

    My first 4 lumps over the years were all fatty tissue and a benign cysts. . So good luck .. please trust your mum ...  Chrissie  x
