Last night I was playing on the computer and my right breast got itchy, and I found a small, 1 cm wide at most sized lump. Is it breast cancer? I have looked it up on the internet and it says It's probubly something else, and I haven't asked my mom about yet.

it's highly unlikely. it's probably just your period coming. just to be safe i would ask your mom =) don't worry about it because i've never heard of anyone your age getting it =]

They're probably just growing. Weird stuff can happen to the human body. I wouldn't worry about it. If it continues to bother you, consult a doctor.

Hello. I am not a doctor. However, don't listen to what some internet "Doctor" says, and follow common sense. Common sense would say, you should definitely talk to your mother right now.

If a 13 year old girl did get breast cancer, her case would make international news and would be written up in medical journals the world over. The chances are so close to zero that it makes just about no difference; you are more than twice as likely to be struck by lightning, and I bet you don't worry about that every time it rains! You know, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was referred to as a 'younger woman'. Know why? Because I was only 50 - yes, fifty - which is still pretty young for breast cancer. Breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s, let alone young teens. Fewer than 0.1% of those who develop it are under 30 and only 5% are under 40. At your age, with your breasts still growing and developing, any changes you notice are normal hormonal development. Also, from your description it sounds as if this lump is ON your breast rather than IN it - in which case it may well be a boil, pimple or bug bite, especially as it's itching. Talk to your mother, she will be able to reassure you. If you really don't feel comfortable doing that, wait till school starts; if you still have this itchy lump - and I bet you don't - talk to your school nurse; she will be used to girls having worries like this and will be able to reassure you that you DON'T have breast cancer

No. Breast Cancer grows in silence without any outward symptoms. I would never known I had cancer had it not been for my yearly Mammogram. I was 43. It is probably a reaction to your bra, or what your mom used as detergent. Ask your Mom.

This could be lots of things and at age 13 breast cancer is about the least likely. Go talk to your mother and if necessary she will get you to a dr to get it checked.

Yes, it's probably a cysts or something. However, I would suggest you to visit your doctor because that 1 cm wide lump is a manifestation of a breast in a not normal condition. It maybe something else, then probably will lead to cancer if you take it for granted. Have it checked by the doctor. Hope this helps!

Relax hon. At 13 your chances of developing breast cancer are about 1 in 10,000. From your National Cancer Institute. "The chance of getting breast cancer increases as you get older. Most women are over 60 years old when they are diagnosed." I was 43 at diagnosis, and classed as young. That lump could be anything from a cyst ( which are not itchy) to hives or an insect bite. If it does not subside or gets worse, see your doctor
