At your age I wouldn't be worried about breast cancer. I think you should see your family Doctor about this. Anything new in your breast should be examined by a Doctor. This could be related to hormonal changes in your body; especially if it is near the time of your menstrual period. Best Wishes

Usually if its pain its a cyst, however I hada small lump under the nipple and it was an adenoma(benign growth). You should always get it checked.

Is it quite fixed and hard lump?I heard dat ppl say if the lump is hard and fixed,it considered as cancer...Can cancerous lump form in our areola?It dont hav any discharge from my breast..It is just a lump >< it is less painful now but the lump still there..

People also say that a benign lump hurts and a malignant doest untill the very last stage but this isnt always the case, so you should not worry about the lump being fixed and hard, it can be a mere collection of some glands which is normal during the menstural cycle. but you should get it checked by the doctor. Dont worry too much about it though.
     All the best.
