White hard thing grew out of chest, now the area is bruised

A white thing grew out of my chests it was like a hair but it was hard and a little itchy. Then I shaved it off, and now the spot is bruised, and my armpit and boob hurt, it feels like a muscle thing. I was wondering what this was, I'm only 14 and female, and my mind keeps going to cancer. Please answer!!

It could be a number of things....possibly an ingrown hair.

Show it to your parents and have them take you to the doctor's if this doesn't go away.
