HI there, you should most definately never ignore a lump no matter its size or if it is painful or not.  Maybe mention it to your doctor and see what he/she suggests. Most people would say your so young......no worries but be safe and get it checked.  Always better to take precautions and continue your self exams monthly to know your body.  Too easy to let time pass.....it is all about detection if it could be something to worry about.  hopefully not :)
