Answers:
In the UK, yes, you can go to the doctor without telling your mother!. I think you're right to go to the doctor but my guess is that it's nothing serious!. It sounds very like a blocked sebaceous gland and, apart from the pain, it's of no consequence!.
Having breasts that are different sizes is very common, as it is for men to have different sized testicles and both sexes different sized feet!.
I would tell your mother about your concerns, just so you learn that she's only going to be sympathetic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it can be many things it can be a symptom of something!. i have lupus [disease] and i had lumps in my armpits as well, inside to you could move it around; check your neck if you have anymore lumps, but you have to go to the doctor as soon as possible if it grows its worse, yes go with your mom or with any grown up you feel better to go with!.

My doctor told me that you are entitled to medical confidentiality from age 10 and they cannot tell your parents if you don't want them too!. A 10yr old that I know also had to sign his own forms before minor surgery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well if it's life threatening the doctor has to tell your parents in fact he doesn't have a option!. I would tell your mum try talking to her and explaining whats going on!. If there's a lump on your breast about the size of a pickle its more likely to be breast cancer I'm not saying it is but it's possible!. My Friend found a lump on her breast she went to the doctors with her mum and the docotor told her it was normal!.
Goodluck and i'm sure there's site you can check out!.

You might have heard of Germaine Greer!. She took legal action because she said she had a right to know that a doctor had prescribed her daughter who was underage the contraceptive pill,Germaine lost her case and she had no rights
The Doctors said the Hippocratic oath prevented them from divulging to parents and the courts said they were right !.
Now of course you also have the Data Protection Act preventing Doctors disclosing without your consent
Go to the doctors be assured it is confidential Try not to worry too much, it is not unusual for even minor infections in other parts of the body to show up in a swollen lymph glandWww@Answer-Health@Com
