Brown dot under left breast

My girlfriend is 18 years old and she has a brown dot under her left breast. It doesn't hurt and it little. It first stared as a dot, the same color of her skin, then maybe 2 or 3 weeks later. it turned brown. What can this be? Is she young to have breast cancer? Can it be that or skin infection?

Are these type of moles common for women? Are they common for most women than men? Is it deadly if cancerous?

A mole can develop anywhere on the body. Some moles can be cancerous but are usually easily removed. Google moles and signs of cancerous moles, see if the pics look similar. I wouldnt get too worried as it may be nothing. Yes it can be completely removed. I have a few moles that have changed over time on me that I have yet to get checked out, it's pretty common.

Can a mole develop under your breast? Can that be harmful to her health or can it be unharmful and be removed?

It's not breast cancer, sounds like it could be a mole, they can change and develop at any time. Since it is changing she should get it looked at.
