i have a lump, sour and really red nipples.

i was complaining about a sour breast, then while i was in the bath i found a lump just below my nipple and it really scared me , the first thing what came into my head was breast cancer, im 14 and i dont no what to do?

is this breast cancer?

Chazz-

We wouldn't be able to tell you if it is cancer or not. Lumps often occur in your breasts during puberty so given your age, it may be a natural occurance that will go away. You probably should see a doctor just to make sure and talk to them about the odor and the sore nipples.

Hi Chazz,

Hope you meant that your breast is sore/hurting and not sour/smelly.  I know when I was young and it was around the time for my period I would get a really sore spot on one breast.  Sore or itchy nipples can also be a part of the menstrual cycle.  But I agree with the other post, get it checked out for peace of mind.

Chazz -

It did occur to me that you might have meant sore. This is part of your cycle. Your breast will become sore a few days before your period starts and it is possible to have lumps appear during this time also. If you don't want to see a doctor right away, watch it for a month or so and see if the lump goes away. When you do go see a doctor, be sure to mention this so they will be aware to watch for this in your exam.
