I was taking a shower when I discovered that when I push down on my right nipple there is a lump. I was looking and it said if nipples go in then you may have breast cancer and mine have always done that. I'm pretty worried... Do I have breast cancer?

Highly unlikely. Although males can develop breast cancer, it is very rare. You are still in puberty, and your breast tissue will continue to change, and it is not abnormal to feel a lump once in awhile. If you are worried, or if the lump seems to get larger, then see a doctor who will examine it.

I dont know but ask a parent/friend that may help you? Or definitely go to see a doctor. x

are they tender you could just be going through puberty were your breasts get sore and firm this might be what you are felling go to your doctor and get it checked out. dont worry about cancer it can be removed. best to see a doctor.

<small> Most likely not. Just go see a docter just make sure. ^^
5 :
Very doubtful but in an older man, possible. Males can get breast cancer however it's rare. Your to young and this being a woman thing gives you two points against it. I would guess it's a fatty tissue or gland that's over working.

Go to your Doctor and get it checked out. There are harmless lumps you can get, which is just a fatty collection under the skin, don't feel embarrassed by it.

As a 15 year old male, your chances of having breast cancer are just about zero. Men do get breast cancer, but fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are male. Most men diagnosed with it are over 60. 80% of all people diagnosed with breastcancer are over 50. It's rare in women under 40, fewer than 0.1% of women diagnosed are under 30, and it's almost unheard of in under 25s. So you can see how unlikely it would be for a teenage male to have breast cancer Most breast lumps in men are a condition called gynaecomastia, a button-like growth under the nipple and areola area that can be felt and is sometimes visible to the naked eye and occasionally it can be quite tender. This increase in the amount of breast tissue is not a tumour and occurs due to changes in hormone balances at times like adolescence - your age in other words. It's not unusual, and it's temporary. This is very likely what you have, but see your doctor for reassurance

its extremely highly unlikely, first off male breast cancer is rare, breast cancer at 15 is very rare and if you always have had inverted nipples then thats just teh way yours go, if they get inverted out of nowhere then its a problem and usually its just one, the lump could be an abcess, cyst, or maybe your feeling a rib, go see your doctor if your worried but its unlikely.

@no i do not think so because you are so young for this type of diseases. about your nipple: my nipple had this symptom when i was 18 year old. i think you are growing and slowly become a young man.
10 :
I don;t think you have breast cancer at all. I think it is your developing body. BUT to be on safe side do go to your gp as only he/she will be able to put your mind at rest
