It is normal to have some lumps and bumps in your breast, the thing is to get comfortable with your breasts and get to know them. Know where the lumps are and check once a month, not around the time of your period to see if there are any changes. Monitor this one lump in particular... don't obsess over it, just check it once a month. If you're really bothered by it, I would suggest seeing a dr.
See a doctor and he will recommend a mammogram to check for breast cancer.A lot of lumps in a woman's breast are cysts or a build up of calcium and are harmless. Do NOT panic.
is the lump moveable? or does it stay in one place? all women have slightly lumpy breasts. breast are mostly made up of fat tissue and our milk glands. so what u r feeling is probably normal. but if u want to ease ur mind, go see a doctor and have a breast exam done, because no one is too young for cancer anymore. i hope everything is ok. good luck!
being you are just starting to develop .. you are prolly feeling breast buds.. or the fatty material that will become your breast tissue and produce milk after child delivery.
some women also have naturally lumpy breast material.. so regular breast checks are encouraged! talk to your doctor.
