Breast cancer

Ok so I'm 16 years old and I was laying down one day and I just felt this pain around my left Nipple , it hurts more when I touch I , I felt around my breast to check for lumps but there's No lumps .. It just hurts a lot and I'm worried cause I'm young very young and like I've never had my breast hurt as much and it's only on one side and one spot not the whole breast ... ?? I'm scared why should I do ? It really hurts and kinda stings a little bit ! Help me ?

It seems like you have got mastitis (breast tissue infection) or painful gynecomastia.Nothing to worry about. Just contact your family physician or gynecologist.

First I don't think you should be thinking about breast cancer. This, at your age, may well be related to the hormonal changes that are taking place in your body. If you are terribly worried about this pain then I suggest that you see your family Dr. for an examination and some opinions on the cause of the pain. If there is no swelling or redness then an infection would be ruled out and you don't have anything to worry about but I think a visit to the Dr. is still a good idea.  Take care .....
