hi, im a 17 year old girl - very worried.

firstly there is a hard lump underneath my nipple - tiny and almost wort like

secondly i have a large hard lump in the same breast - it doesnt hurt and i can move it with my fingers.

the same breast in question (the right breast) is bigger than the other one, resulting in the two nipples being wonky.

have i got cancer?

So very sorry no one responded to this post. I just came across it. I can not give you a diagnosis, but can say I'd go to see my primary care physican and have this looked into. You are very young, and I really doubt it could be cancer, but....you still need to have these suspecious places looked at to rule out other factors.

if it's moving, i think it's a benign tumor. not really a worst problem, it can still be cured easily. but if it's not moving it's probably a cancer. better set an appointment to your doctor for proper diagnose.

No, it is still probably NOT cancer - only 20% of reported lumps prove to be cancerous.
