Answers:
Well, at 16 your chances of having breast cancer are close to zero; 80% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are over 50, it's rare in women under 40 and it's almost unheard of in under 25s.
Most breast lumps, even in women over 50, aren't cancerous. At your age your breasts are still growing and developing and this is probably hormonal.
Yes, unless it goes away in the next few days you should have it checked out to put your mind at rest; but there could be several explanations and it's almost certainly not cancerHealth Question & Answer

In any event, if you feel a lump and you're worried about it, DON'T HESITATE TO SEE A DOCTOR. By getting a doctor to check the lump you'll ease your fears. And if it's something serious, you can start getting treatment right away.
